In co-operation with the Qatar Olympic Committee, the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics has launched its annual survey aimed at knowing the opinions of citizens and expatriates on the various sport practices.
The survey can be accessed through the websites www.mdps.gov.qa or www.olympic.qa
The objective is to gather information about the number of participants in sport activities by age category, level of spending on sport by individuals, as well as the favourite venues and times for the practice of sport, in addition to the scope of participation in the National Sport Day (NSD), in the previous year.
The results of the survey will be made public during the NSD activities on February 10.
Both the ministry and QOC have urged all citizens and expatriates to participate in the survey as it will help define precisely the services and sport activities that the community would need, in order to promote the culture of sport and physical activities in the society, thus achieving the objectives of the NSD.
The QOC is keen to achieve these objectives through various programmes and initiatives such as the Qatar Active Campaign, which helps spreading the ‘Sport for All’ concept.
The Olympic Running Day, the Paralympic Festival, the Girls Sport Day, the Fishing Festival, the Tele Match competition, the Diplomatic Day, the Corporation Sport Day and the Fitness programme for women and girls, the Ramadan Sport competition, the Electronic Games competition, the Heritage competitions and contests, the Islamic Triathlon, the Ministries and Corporation League, the Aquatic Games and the Indoor Footsall competition are among the programmes.
