The Olympic Movement actively promotes this celebration, highlighting the role and contribution of sports organizations to social change and human development, stated the president of the National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOS), Nicolae Juravschi.

"Sport has the power to make the world a better place, strengthen community ties, and promote sustainable development, mutual respect, and peace," Juravschi emphasized.

The International Day of Sport for Development and Peace was proclaimed by the United Nations in 2013, following an initiative launched by the International Olympic Committee. CNOS celebrated it for the first time in 2014.

This celebration complements the Olympic Day on June 23, which honors the Olympic values of friendship, excellence, and respect, engaging millions of people worldwide in sports activities.
