The courses began on 1 December 1922 in Bucharest, and the establishment document was acknowledged by the Law on Physical Education promulgated on 15 June 1923 and published in the Official Gazette no. 59 of 17 June 1923, under the name of National Institute of Physical Education (INEF). The first headquarters of the new INEF was in Dealul Spirii, the place where, on 13 September 1848, the firemen of Valter Maracineanu defended the provisional government against the Turks.

In June 2018, the UNEFS, which was given several names over time, celebrated 95 years of uninterrupted activity. Throughout this period, great athletes, honored coaches, successful managers and businessmen in various areas, people with responsible positions, institution leaders in our field and not only, true ambassadors of Romania, studied, trained or completed their training in this institution.
