The "Economist" sports and cultural complex features a state-of-the-art stadium with a seating capacity of 3,000 spectators, along with a comprehensive athletics sector that includes six 400-meter tracks and two specialized areas for jumping and throwing events. It also houses a premier football field recognized as one of the finest in Ukraine, a swimming pool with six 25-meter lanes, various sports grounds, three gyms, a games room, a boxing hall, a martial arts hall, and three dedicated halls for aerobics, Pilates, shaping, rhythmic gymnastics, and yoga. Additionally, facilities are available for specialized instruction for medical groups, alongside three tennis courts. Importantly, a secure shelter is incorporated within the complex, ensuring a safe environment for all participants. The complex has been designed to foster optimal conditions for physical education and competitive sports.

The facility can accommodate up to 1,000 students engaging in physical training and recreational activities simultaneously. Among the notable events organized are the "Health" Sports Festival and various sports competitions tailored for the student body.

The primary objective of the Physical Culture and Sports Department (FGC "Economist") is to establish an exemplary material and technical foundation at the university that facilitates physical education and enhances athletic performance, aiming for excellence and high-level competitive results.

For first and second-year students, participation in mandatory training sessions occurs weekly across several specializations, including swimming, athletic gymnastics (for both men and women), football, basketball, health-oriented aerobics, fitness training, and sessions for special medical groups. Moreover, students in their fourth and fifth years have the opportunity to refine their athletic skills by joining the university's national teams.

A long-standing tradition at the university includes the organization of a Spartakiad, encompassing twelve sports disciplines and featuring participation from both students and faculty members. The university's national teams compete in various Ukrainian and international competitions, boasting notable achievements. For instance, the badminton team is a multiple champion and prize-winner in the higher league, having participated in prestigious events such as the European Champions Cup and two world championships for students. Furthermore, the national basketball, football, and badminton teams achieved commendable results at the VII Summer Universiade of Ukrainian students, with both the men's and women's national basketball teams securing third place and first place, respectively, in prior competitions. In 2010, the national football team clinched third place in the Kyiv championship among a pool of 24 participating university teams. Notably, in 2014, Andriy Baturkin, a student from the Faculty of International Economics, attained a gold medal in the classic bench press at the world championship under the mentorship of his coach, Mikhail Valerievich Dudko.
