Pakistan Does Not Have a National Sports Day

Pakistan has no officially designated national "Sports Day."

What Exists Instead

• National Sports Policy — Periodic (2005, 2018 draft); aims to promote sports at all levels.
• Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) — Under IPC Ministry; funds federations, organizes national games.
• National Games — Multi-sport event held every 2 years (last: 2023 Quetta; next: 2025).
• International Day of Sport for Development and Peace (April 6) — UN observance; PSB marks it with events.
• Quaid-e-Azam Games / Inter-Provincial Games — Regular domestic competitions.
• Cricket-centric culture: Match days (vs India, World Cup) are de facto national holidays.

Why No Fixed Day?

• Sports governance fragmented (PSB, POA, provincial bodies).
• Limited budget; focus on cricket (PCB autonomous, wealthy).
• No legislative act establishing a sports day.

If you're planning an event, April 6 (UN day) or a National Games period are the closest institutional anchors.
