This article is a recollection of the most important facts, events, and personalities that marked the history of physical and sports education at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies. More than a century has passed since 1918, when the first student sports association was founded in our university. In the academic year 1951-1952, physical education was included in the study curriculum. 1996 marked a milestone in diversifying the range of physical activities and sports offered to ASE students with the construction of a new sports facility. The two regular basketball and volleyball courts opened the way for organising competitions between the UES faculties teams.
