The Bangladesh Olympic Association (BOA) will
hold the Olympic Day-2024 on Saturday (July 13) as part of the global
programme of International Olympic Committee (IOC) to popularize its
movement.
The BOA will celebrate the “Olympic Day” in the capital and seven other
divisions across the country in a benefiting manner with the slogan: “Let’s
Move”, said a press release here today.
Olympic Day is celebrated worldwide on June 23 every year to mark the
founding anniversary of the International Olympic Committee.
This year, on the occasion of the holy Eid-ul-Azha, the day is planned to
celebrate on July 13 instead of June 23 due to a public holiday.
In order to celebrate the Olympic Day, the BOA will organise a grand rally
which will begin from Bangladesh Shishu Academy at 7.30 am and terminate at
Sheikh Russel Roller Skating Complex adjoining the Bangabandhu National
Stadium after passing Education Bhaban, Bangladesh Secretariat, Zero Points
and GPO.
BOA President General SM Shafiuddin Ahmed is expected to present in the rally
to preside the programme.
Participation in the Olympic Day Run remains open to all sports-loving
people.
After the rally, Bangladesh Ansar’s orchestra team will perform a cultural
programme. T-shirt and certificate will be provided for all the participants
in the rally.
