Qatar Islamic Bank “QIB” has finalized the preparations to celebrate the National Sports Day to be held this year on Tuesday 11 February. QIB’s activities will include a comprehensive sports program that will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel with the participation of QIB and QInvest employees.

QIB’s celebration of the National Sports Day echoes the Bank’s commitment to the objectives stated in Qatar’s National Vision 2030 reflecting the State’s concern with the health of its community members by reiterating the importance of sports, a pillar of public health for both citizens and residents of Qatar.

QIB’s Sports Day program encompasses a multitude of physical activities, where sports teams will partake in competitions and races. Healthy meals will also be on the agenda, as well as entertaining side games.

A medical section has been incorporated into the day’s activities and will be hosted by an orthopedic surgeon who will give medical advice to QIB’s staff on proper postures and healthy working conditions to avoid various hazards that could be caused for a number of reasons such as sitting at the office without any movement for a prolonged period of time.

National Sports Day celebrations come pursuant to Emiri decree #80 of 2011 that sets the second Tuesday of February each year as a national holiday to promote a healthy lifestyle. Keen on promoting physical activities among its staff members, QIB encourages its employees to embrace sports throughout the year in view of their importance in our lives and their rewarding effects on both the body and the mind.
