“Our sports Department is something extremely valuable because the sport has a great importance for the development and lives of our students”. Those were the words Prof. Stattev opened the scientific Forum. The university Managing Body is impressed from our sports Department which is a worthy member of our academic family. Congratulations to you for the idea to celebrate this significant Anniversary because it is a strong sign of honour and respect to the glorious traditions of our university. It is an occasion to remember two important facts that we have the reason to be proud of. The first is that the beginning of the organized student sports movement in Bulgaria is set up at our university and the second is that we celebrate the 90th Anniversary of the student sports at the UNWE, declared the Rector. We have the most modern university sports complex in Bulgaria. The number of our sport achievements increases. Each victory of our sportsmen is a contribution to the reputation of the UNWE and integral part of our united efforts to work for its prosperity, added Prof. Stattev.
