Summary/Abstract: The construction and renovation of sports facilities is one of the strategic tasks of a country. It aims to improve and maintain optimal physical condition and improve the level of the working capacity of the population. One of the main contributions when holding such world-class sports events is that after the forum, the sports facilities are available to many who wish to play sports. Such is the enormous contribution of the World student games – Universiade Sofia '77, held in 1977. A total of 24 sports facilities were built or renovated, most of them in the Students City neighborhood. One of which is the SK „Bonsist“, after the event it was provided for the use of the students of the Economics Institute „Karl Marx“, today's UNWE, whose sports classes were held in the gym on „Exarch Yosif“ street, in the pool of the city mineral bathroom and outdoors on the grounds of the „Kolodruma“ in the „Boris garden“ until that point. Later, through a project won by the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the Sports Complex „Bonsist“ was fundamentally renovated. This remains a serious gain for students. During these45 years, SC „Bonsist“ proved its necessity and effectiveness for the development of physical education and sports in the UNWE and is one of the main merits for the exceptional sports successes of the representative teams of the University.
