Betriebssportgemeinschaft Forschungszentrum Jülich 1963 e.V.
BSG FZJ and its objectives
The BSG FZJ offers you the opportunity to take part in a wide variety of sports, from classic ball sport activities, gymnastics and weight training to aikido, fishing and chess. We are constantly striving to develop and expand our range of activities to offer you a modern and family-friendly sports and leisure environment. As the largest company sports club in the Rhineland with approximately 2,300 members, we coordinate more than 50 sports groups and provide you with many regular family events to get together and strengthen our community beyond single groups. You get the chance to also take part in internal and external tournaments with us. Because “community” is very important to us.
In total, all our activities reflect our exceptional status as a sports community associated with Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ).
