13-Jul-2019

Dear Media Friends,

Pakistan Olympic Association is celebrating the Olympic Day, 2019, a day celebrated throughout the world in tribute the creation of modern Olympics and the values of Olympism.

The core of today's POA program is to connect the elite athletes, Olympians, kids and youngsters with the Olympic values through sporting and educational activities in a unique manner to demonstrate the theme of this year's Olympic Day i.e. “Sports, Culture & Education Together”. POA strongly believes that the unique blend of sports, education and culture will develop a stronger and integrated community that will contribute in building a better society and a prosperous Pakistan.

The POA team designed programs to attract youngsters and kids to the sporting arena and to share the Olympic values of respect, friendship & excellence; that we believe will go long way in community development.
