26 Oct 09 Nov, 2023
The National Games in Goa mark a momentous occasion, as it is the very first grand-scale sporting event of its kind to grace the picturesque state's shores. Commencing on the 26th of October and running until the 9th of November, this event has been orchestrated through the tireless dedication of the esteemed Sports Minister, Shri Govind Gaude ji, who has been working diligently under the steadfast guidance of the revered Chief Minister of Goa, Dr Pramod Sawant Ji, a true pillar of strength throughout this extraordinary journey.
The journey to bring the National Games to Goa began in 2022 when the dynamic Sports Minister, Shri Govind Gaude, publicly declared his intention to host this prestigious event in 2023. His announcement was met with a mix of scepticism and anticipation, as the very authenticity of this endeavour was questioned. However, any doubts were put to rest when the official dates were unveiled by the Goa Government, putting to rest all speculations and making this a landmark moment in the state's sporting history.
The National Games are India's premier sporting event, a testament to the nation's unity in diversity. Athletes from across the country converge to showcase their talent, dedication, and hard work in a multitude of sporting disciplines. This edition of the National Games is colossal, featuring 23 different locations and a staggering 43 sports, including traditional favourites like cricket and football alongside indigenous games such as Malakhamb, Yogasana, and Lagori.
