DOHA:  The Qatar Women’s Sports Committee (QWSC) will celebrate the International Women’s  Day tomorrow by staging a one-hour yoga session as its headquarters, a top official confirmed yesterday.

“We will be celebrating March 8, the International Women’s Day, with a special yoga session for all. The special session will be held from 4:30pm to 5:30pm,” Lulwa Al Marri, QWSC Chairperson, said.

“It will be conducted by female instructors. Interested parties can come and be part of this hugely popular segment at QWSC. We will be happy to host all those who want to be here. Registration details are there on our social media platform. It will be an outdoor activity at our headquarters.” 

The QWSC Chairperson said a huge crowd was expected to be part of the yoga session, she added.

“We have been getting a lot of calls with people inquiring about our activities. We want the parents to come and visit our headquarters. We want them to come and see our activities. Every year we also run and support campaigns on breast cancer. So we are busy interacting with the communities living in Qatar through sports and otherwise also,” Al Marri said.

“We also open our doors on National Sports Day so that people are most welcome. I think you are lucky if you a girl and if you love sports in Qatar. We have some of the world’s best facilities here,” she added.

In January, the QWSC hosted Bayern Munich’s women’s football team for friendly with the Qatar national team when the German giants spent a week in Doha for their winter camp.

“It was a week full of activities for the visitors and our young team. Our girls are young. They are U-14. But to play with against the Bayern Munich women’s team was a life-time opportunity to mix with the top players. They were very happy and excited. Bayern Munich were here with their top side. We were happy to see our girls play with them,” the QWSC Chairperson said.
