SASUM Department of Sports and Culture

The Sports and Culture Department is made up of sports and culture support units that support the university population with the aim of guaranteeing the conditions for access to sports and culture, encouraging the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits and promoting health and well-being.

Its fundamental objective is to provide quality sports services, which is why it has two sports complexes (1 in Gualtar and 1 in Azurém) and a Fitness Center in Santa Tecla, providing access to a wide range of sports services, from bodybuilding and cardio fitness activities, aquatic activities, combat sports, competitive sports, individual and collective recreational sports, as well as promoting and supporting the activities of cultural groups.

Programming and developing our own services through the UMinho Sports brand, taking into account not only the trends in performance sport, but also those in school, leisure and recreational sport, as well as the needs and interests of the population, we offer more than 50 sports at the Gualtar and Azurém sports complexes and at the St.ª Tecla Fitness Center, based on rational and innovative management, carefully supporting associations and developing synergies with reference entities at regional, national and international level.

The UMinho Sports brand provides a range of digital services for the academic community and is present on the Instragram and Facebook social networks and on the YouTube platform.
