National Sports Festival 2010

The National Sports Festival — a flagship event of the Ismaili Muslim community in the United Kingdom — renewed itself during the weekend of 2–5 April 2010 at Loughborough University. With over 1 000 participants playing 11 sports and competing in 37 categories, NSF 2010 was the biggest edition in the biennial sports festival’s 26-year history.

The theme for the Festival — Participate, Motivate, Celebrate — couldn’t have been more apt. Participants poured in from across the United Kingdom, as well as Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Sweden, and from as far away as Canada and the United States. Some 1 600 supporters gathered to cheer on the amateur athletes, who competed on courts, pitches, courses, fields, dance floors and in swimming pools.
