HH the Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani yesterday issued Emiri Decision No.80 of 2011 whereby the second Tuesday of February every year shall be observed as the National Sports Day. All government ministries and agencies and firms and establishments in the private sector
shall do the needful to organise a wide range of sports activities on that day for different age groups.
It shall be deemed as an official paid holiday. This decision is issued in the light of the Labour Law
No.14 of 2004 and its subsequent amendments; and the Law No.8 of 2009 on human resources
