The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has announced the date of 11 April to celebrate Play True Day 2025. This annual digital campaign unites the global anti-doping community in raising awareness of the importance of clean sport.
WADA are inviting athletes, National and Regional Anti-Doping Organizations, Sports Federations, Governments, Major Event Organizers, and all other anti-doping stakeholders from around the world to join in the largest celebration of clean sport.
Play True Day was inspired by a WADA-hosted Education Conference in 2013, where 17 Latin American countries came together to talk about Clean Sport.
Every April since 2014, the global anti-doping community comes together to observe Play True Day — a day devoted to promoting Clean Sport and enhancing awareness among athletes, fans, and the general public about the significance of doping prevention.
What started as a small regional event has now grown into a worldwide movement, bringing together millions of people every year!
In 2024, on its 10th anniversary, Play True Day generated on social media, nearly 200 million impressions and 260,000 engagements worldwide.
