Summary/Abstract: In this article we analyze the implemented policies in the field of sports in Bulgaria for the achievement of a healthy society according to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The potential of sport to contribute to sustainable development is strongly and clearly stated in the new UN Agenda "Transforming the World". The UN recognized sport as a vital driver and facilitator of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and introduced a new set of goals to guide global health development. The vast majority of our nation has no habits of systematic motor activity. Mass sport in our country has not become a powerful factor for disease prevention, health promotion and social integration of disadvantaged people, as well as representatives of different ethnic groups.
