United Development Company (UDC), one of the leading shareholding companies in Qatar, will celebrate National Sport Day on Tuesday at its flagship development - The Pearl-Qatar - with a fun-filled programme for employees and their families, as well as residents and visitors of the premium locale.
The Pearl-Qatar will also host a number of ministries, civic and government institutions planning to organise their Sport Day events on the island, including Qatar Tourism Authority, the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics, Qatar School Sports Federation and Qatar Beach Tennis Club.
UDC’s support of National Sport Day reflects the company’s corporate social responsibility programme’s focus on promoting an active and healthy lifestyle and fulfilling the Qatar National Vision 2030, which considers the human element as one of its crucial pillars.
UDC’s day will start with a walkathon on Porto Arabia Boardwalk at 8:30am, leaving from 7 La Croisette and reaching 29 La Croisette where Anima Gallery and Lounge are located.
In collaboration with Qatar Beach Tennis Club and following the refreshing morning walk around Porto Arabia, UDC will hold Beach Tennis competitions from 10am to 4:30pm at the Lido Venezia Beach in Qanat Quartier, which will be open to free public registration. Participants can sign up to play by sending their names, e-mail addresses and mobile numbers to [email protected]
On the other side of the Island, at the mosque parking adjacent to The Pearl Roundabout, sport will be equally emphasised at the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics’ event from 8am to 5pm.
The huge land area will be filled with sports and recreational activities including handball and volleyball courts, ping pong, billiard and bowling, in addition to treadmills and other workout machines.
The special kids’ area will be filled with bouncing castles and inflatable games. A health corner will guarantee that people will take up interest in doing some routine but vital blood tests and in learning about healthy living in the form of brief lectures.
HE Dr Saleh Mohamed Salem al-Nabit, the Minister of Development Planning and Statistics, is expected to participate in a walkathon from Chocolate Bar in 1 La Croisette to the Ministry’s site of celebrations adjacent to the Rolls-Royce Showroom.
Close by in 1 La Croisette between Sormani and Le Relais de l’Entrecote, Qatar School Sport Federation will be bringing along 50 children aged between eight and 11, from different schools in Qatar to participate in mini football and mini basketball games from 8am to 2pm.
