UN adopts Libya's resolution and declares May 25 as World Football Day

The United Nations General Assembly has unanimously adopted a draft resolution submitted by Libya to declare May 25 as “World Football Day."

The Libyan Mission to the United Nations said that the resolution it had submitted was a joint initiative with Bahrain and Tajikistan, noting that the reason for choosing May 25 was that it was at the time of the organization of the World Olympic Football Championship in 1924, exactly 100 years ago, which was the first tournament with representation from all the continents of the world.
