Physical Culture and Sports Day in Azerbaijan
March 5 · Level 9 · #311 of 2238
Azerbaijan’s Physical Culture and Sports Day celebrates everything from everyday exercise to elite competition. It recognises athletes and coaches while encouraging people of different ages and abilities to find a place for movement in their lives.
How it is celebrated: sporting organisations, schools and clubs arrange competitions, demonstrations and gatherings. Events bring participants and spectators together, with congratulations for athletes and the coaches who support their progress.
Baku hosted the first-ever European Games in 2015. Azerbaijan’s capital therefore became the starting point for a new continental multisport competition.
