July 2 is International Sports Journalists Day.
This day has been celebrated annually since 1995 at the initiative of the International Association of Sports Press (AIPS).
On July 2, 1924, at the congress of representatives of the international sports press held in Paris, a decision was made to establish a professional organization – the International Association of Sports Press. AIPS mediates between the international press, athletes and sponsors, organizes meetings and seminars for new sports journalists.
Currently, 130 countries of the world are represented in AIPS. Azerbaijan, an active member of AIPS, hosted the 77th congress dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the organization in 2014.
We sincerely congratulate all sports journalists operating in Azerbaijan on this day and wish them new successes in their professional activities.
