Olympic Day, established in 1948, is the global celebration of sport and getting active that takes place on 23 June each year to commemorate the day the IOC was founded in 1894 by Pierre de Coubertin.

It has developed into the only annual worldwide celebration of the Olympic Movement and is a day to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.
