Social development through sports

Champions Factory Sport experts work with individuals and organizations on diverse national and transnational sport innovation projects in order to bring positive social impact. We work with local communities, Olympic Committees, Sport Federations, Sport Clubs, Governments, Enterprises, NGOs, and others to develop sustainable programs that can be easily replicated and scaled up.

Our main objectives are to:

  • Promote social inclusion, equal opportunities and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity, through increased participation in, and equal access to sport for all.
  • Promote and support good governance in sport and dual careers of athletes.
  • Tackle cross-border threats to the integrity of sport, such as doping, violence and all kinds of intolerance and discrimination

Our latest sports projects:

“Sport for Sustainable Development” is a two-stage international activity that gathered 30 young people from 9 countries (United Kingdom, Romania, Lithuania, Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, Poland, Slovakia and Croatia) and developed their skills on how to use sport as a tool for sustainable development of youth. The participants were involved and empowered to bring out the potential of the youngsters they work with and learn how to use sport and act as multipliers. The first activity of the project was a seminar held in Bansko (Bulgaria) in the period 18 – 24 April 2017, while the second activity took place in Tenerife (Spain) in the period 2 – 8 October 2017.
“Gather together for better“ gettered 37 young people between 18-30 years old in a 10-days youth exchange in Varna (Bulgaria) from 14 to 24 July 2016. The participants were from Bulgaria, Italy, England and Poland. Through this project Champions Factory allowed young people with background difficulties to use physical activities as a tool for mutual understanding using non-formal education methods.
“Together for active lifestyle” project is an initiative of committed young Europeans to raise awareness on the importance of healthy and active lifestyle and to encourage young people to take an active part in the promotion of these principles in their communities as well.

Champions Factory Bike Park Rilla Lakes

Champions Factory Experts are designing and building-up Mountain Bike Parks, as our biggest success is the Champions Factory Rilla Lakes Bike Park, which is located only 90km far from the capital Sofia and offers you four downhill tracks (DH) and two touring tracks.

The DH tracks are for the pro-bikers and are having many ramps and jumps, while the touring tracks are for not-so-experiences bike lovers, who would like to take a half day hike around the Rilla Lakes and go down the mountain by bike. This track is with a low level of difficulty, as you will pass through the longest bike bridge in Bulgaria – 87meters.
