The Joaquin F. Enriquez Memorial Stadium is a multi-use stadium located inside the Joaquin F. Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex in Zamboanga City, Philippines. It is currently used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of Zamboanga FA. The sports complex holds around 40,000 people in total but the football area holds around 10,000 people.
The sports complex is considered one of the most modern in the country. It has a total land area of 5.75 hectares. Construction of the sports complex started November, 1991 and was completed in time for the March 6, 1992 Palarong Pambansa.
A sports complex of 57,500 square metres considered one of the most modern in the country. Ten contractors and 1,500 workers joined hands to complete the facility in time for the March 6, 1992 Palarong Pambansa (National Games). Total construction cost was a little over P64-million. The latest synthetic rubberized coating known as Super AG was used for the oval, only the second in the world after one in Saudi Arabia.
In 2005, it is the main venue of the National PRISAA Games which gathered athletes from all over the private schools in the country. And in 2007, the PASUC-National Sports Olympics, a competition between Public colleges and university varsity teams.
2011, the PRISAA will be participated in by more than 400 member colleges and universities from the country’s 17 regions, according to the organizers. Prior to the approval, National PRISAA Board of Trustees unanimously approved to a 17-0 votes for the holding of the National Games in the City during a Board Meeting held last January 21, 2011, at United Architect of the Philippines (UAP) Building in Quezon City. An estimated of more than 5,000 participants, including athletes and officials coming from the different regions, will see actions in the playing field compared to over 3,000 participants in 2008.
