About the day
Omani Youth Day falls on 26 October each year. The day was designated by the late Sultan Qaboos bin Said.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth leads the observance, and His Highness Sayyid Theyazin bin Haitham Al Said, Minister of Culture, Sports and Youth, gives an address to mark it.
In 2024 the day included the Youth Excellence Award, with winners in fields such as the digital economy, environment and entrepreneurship, and the launch of Youth Centres in several governorates.
