AUBG Olympics

More than a decade ago the American Football team “AUBG Griffins” decided to liven up their practices by organizing challenges among the team players. They gained popularity and the challenges evolved into one of the most anticipated events during the spring semester at the American University in Bulgaria. Thus, the idea of the AUBG Olympics club was born. Today, we organize the only all-university sports event, which includes 15 disciplines, played in a competitive atmosphere. The event opens with an on-campus celebration that involves the entire AUBG community, displays various talents and spectacles to recreate the university spirit and to officially open the weekend of the upcoming local Olympiad. During the games, there are refreshments and quality music complementing the excitement on the field. The all-day event has been growing through the years and now attracts over 800 people from AUBG and the local community, including participants and spectators. The Olympiad is held at the Porter Baseball Field, Bachinovo Park, Blagoevgrad. In addition to that, we also organize five to six sports challenges throughout the academic year. As the biggest club at the university and as one of the most influential and respected student organizations, AUBG Olympics abides by the principles of passion, ambition, and diligence. The fire that burns inside our ribcages drives us ever forward.
