Empowering Qatari Youth
ThroughSports and Wellness

The Negdar (We Can) initiative, which will be launched by the Qatar Stars League (QSL) in partnership with Generation Amazing and Internal Security Force (Lekhwiya), comes in line with the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the three entities in co-operation with the Ministry of Public Health. The programme aims to inspire and motivate young participants, aged 10 to 15 years, to lead active and healthy lifestyle, and to promote community health by reducing the risks of obesity among the target group.

The launch of Negdar programme represents an important step in strengthening Qatar’s National Health Strategy, aligning it with the World Health Organization’s Healthy City initiative and building on the success of FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 – Creating a Legacy for Sport and Health. It demonstrates a multi-sector commitment towards designing and implementing a sports programme that promotes health collaboratively, putting health at the forefront of our agendas and building on the resolution of 77th World Health Assembly in May, 2024, on promoting health and wellbeing through sporting events.

It also aims to use football as a catalyst for change, to encourage and work on developing the concept of healthy living, in co-operation with QSL clubs and benefiting from players and teams. The programme will include many sports and educational activities designed around the concept of health and proper nutrition.
