Bahrain celebrates on Tuesday its fifth National Sports Day, organized by the Bahrain Olympic Committee annually in implementation of a decision by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Olympic Committees to hold a “Sports Day” in all GCC countries on the second Tuesday of February.
Under directives from His Highness Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa, First Vice President of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports and Chairman of the Bahrain Olympic Committee, the National Sports Day will be celebrated this year virtually due to the coronavirus pandemic.
