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 the Largest Stadium in the Philippines. It is currently used mostly for football matches and hosts the home matches of Zamboanga FA. The stadium holds around 40,000 people.
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.
