With this significant progress, the Niš Faculty of Sports and Physical Education has become the absolute best sports faculty in Serbia and one of the leading faculties in the region of Southeast Europe. Namely, the Faculty of Niš is the only one from Serbia that was included in this year's ranking list. On this occasion, it should be noted that in 2016, the Faculty of Sports and Physical Education from Nis was the first institution of the University of Nis and the only sports faculty from Serbia to be on the most prestigious academic list. Our Faculty has progressed year by year on the Shanghai list so that it now occupies an extremely high position, side by side with the best universities in the world. I hope that the success of our Faculty will motivate the other faculties of the University of Niš to work harder and to raise the quality of their scientific and research activities, aiming for a common goal - to place the University of Niš in the group of the best universities in the world.
