WADA Celebrates Play True Day 2025 with the Global Anti-Doping Community: “Play True: It Starts with You”

Today, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) is proud to mark Play True Day 2025, celebrating alongside athletes, Anti-Doping Organizations, governments and all other clean sport stakeholders from around the world that have united behind this year’s powerful theme: “Play True: It Starts with You.” 

Now in its 11th edition, WADA’s Play True Day digital campaign has become a highlight of the anti-doping calendar. What began as a small celebration in Latin America in 2014 has evolved into a truly global movement, with thousands of individuals and organizations taking part annually. 

“Play True: It Starts with You,” shines a spotlight on the personal responsibility that each person has in upholding the values of clean sport. Around the world, athletes and anti-doping stakeholders are proudly sharing what clean sport means to them — through videos, messages, photos and events — and are renewing their commitment to the integrity of sport. 

WADA President Witold Bańka said: “Every voice raised today helps to strengthen the clean sport movement for athletes worldwide. By celebrating Play True Day together, we’re not only increasing anti-doping awareness, we are also building a culture of fairness, respect, and accountability that starts with each of us…as part of One Team.” 

Throughout the day, WADA’s social media channels will be featuring Play True Day content from around the world, showcasing the creativity, energy, and passion that defines the global collaborative movement for doping-free sport.
