Play True Day: A Clean Sport Journey
Building the Play True Day Story with our Global Partners
Over the years, Play True Day has gained momentum through the collective efforts of our global anti-doping partners. From inspiring posts to impactful campaigns, their contributions have played a vital role in spreading the message of clean sport worldwide. Here's a look back at how our partners have helped shape Play True Day’s online presence.
From Local Roots to Global Impact:
The Story of Play True Day
Play True Day was born out of the 2013 WADA Education Conference in Latin America. The first official celebration took place in 2014, aiming to unite the global sporting community under a shared commitment to integrity and fairness. Since that first celebration in 2014, Play True Day has evolved from a small initiative into a global movement that reaches millions each year.
In 2024, on its 10th anniversary, over 100 countries and 50 organizations participated, creating a global wave of support for clean sport generating nearly 200 million impressions and 260,000 engagements worldwide on social media.
Past publications
Through posts, videos, and interactive campaigns, WADA and the global anti-doping community have helped bring attention to the importance of clean sport, furthering the reach of Play True Day across various platforms.
Play True Day Over The Years
Since its inception, Play True Day has evolved into a global movement to promote clean sport. Each year, the campaign highlights key themes that reflect the values of integrity, fairness, and unity.
From standing together as #OnePlayTrueTeam in 2024 to promoting messages of peace through sport in 2022, Play True Day continues to inspire worldwide engagement and proves that when the global anti-doping community unites, the message of clean sport resonates louder than ever.
