Qatar National Day
Qatar National Day is the most significant day in the country. It is the national commemoration of Qatar's unification in 1878. It is a great opportunity to have Koora Time take part in the country's national celebration, as it introduces this great initiative to the wider local community, and gives them the chance to be part of a successful programme that focuses on the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle through football. Since 2017, Koora Time has executed a National Day event at Darb Al Saai.

There was also open play football for all age groups, and a majlis with a virtual reality goal keeper game and other activities for younger children.
