Sport at ELTE
The University Athletics Club (BEAC) was founded in 1898 and was one of the very first Hungarian sports clubs. The primary concern of BEAC is to provide quality, professional sports facilities for ELTE students and young people in Budapest. Since its foundation members of the University Athletics Club have won 6 Olympic and 400 Hungarian champion titles.
BEAC has several facilities across the city but closest to the Campus is the Bogdánfy Street ELTE Sports Hall.
