“Today, October 9, is the 50th anniversary of the University of Sport. Its performance goes from classrooms to courts and from these to the communities in order to contribute to a healthier society.

Congratulations to its workers, professors, students and founders”, the Cuban leader posted on X social media.

The university, which has graduated 85% of Cuba’s current Olympic champions, has announced there is a new plan afoot to recreational sports festivals, meetings with founders and graduations of master’s and doctoral degrees, among other activities.
