An annual celebration event marking Bahrain National Sports Day was organized by ASU on 13 February 2018 at the university campus.

The event involved various physical activities and games, with active participation including by the President, academic staff, senior management, administrative staff and students, with the primary aim of promoting health awareness.

The half-day event started with a short Walkathon around the premises, followed by a number of sports competitions, namely rope-pulling (“tug-of-war”), volleyball, table-tennis, billiards, chess and the traditional Bahraini game of carom. All of the activities were held in an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere, enhancing community-spirit among the members of the University community in an initiative designed to motivate staff and students to work-out and instill the culture of sport as a healthy lifestyle.
