Yes, as it is the 2nd tuesday of Feb. as National Sports Day per govt. decree and so on every year whatever date this may fall.

It has got nothing to do with the Valentines day. It is because Qatar National Sports Day will be on 2nd tuesday of every year and for the luck of all those lovers this time even the Valentines day is falling on same day. Purely coincidence.
