UNEC places strong emphasis on sports, with particular attention given to students’ physical fitness and the university’s achievements in various athletic fields.
Leisure time plays a crucial role in safeguarding both the physical and psychological well-being of students, supporting personal development, and ensuring high academic performance. Poorly organized free time, however, may lead to decreased motivation, increased stress, and reduced social engagement. In this
regard, one of the most effective ways for students to spend their leisure time productively is participation in sports activities. At the Azerbaijan State University of Economics, the UNEC Sports Club brings together university teams composed of students across various sports disciplines.
UNEC Sports Clubs:
• Football
• Basketball
• Volleyball
• Chess
• Tennis
The university’s sustained attention and support for sports are reflected in its steadily growing achievements in this field. UNEC has implemented a range of targeted and comprehensive measures to strengthen students’ and staff members’ physical well-being and to ensure the effective organization of their leisure time.
In the university’s Academic Building No. 2, volleyball and basketball halls meeting the highest international standards for hosting local and international competitions have been built. The Academic Building No. 4 houses a state-of-the-art indoor games hall, fully
equipped fitness rooms, and a chess club supported with all necessary equipment and technical resources. Additionally, a modern Sports and Wellness Complex with seating for 1,500 spectators, including swimming facilities, gyms, and contemporary equipment, has been constructed in the Guba district.
