Sports
The Polisportiva Oratorio Bulciago is an amateur sports association with Christian inspiration, founded in 2000 through the merger of the Polisportiva Bulciago and the Gruppo Sportivo Oratorio Bulciago.
Since July 1, 2011, the association has managed the entire municipal sports center of Bulciago, which includes the sports hall and the football field.
In 2011, following the closure of the G.S. Real Bulciago, the association allowed athletes who had previously been part of the other local football club to join, becoming the main reference for anyone wanting to practice sports in Bulciago.
