The Joaquin F. Enriquez Memorial Stadium is a multi-use stadium located inside the Joaquin F. Enriquez Memorial Sports Complex in Zamboanga City, Philippines. The stadium has the capacity of 10,000 people.[2]

Construction of the sports complex started November 1991 and was completed in time for the 1992 Palarong Pambansa.

Ten contractors and 1,500 workers collaborated in order to complete the facility. Total construction cost was a little over P64-million.

In 2005, it was the main venue of the National PRISAA Games which gathered athletes from all over the private schools in the country. In 2007, the PASUC-National Sports Olympics, a competition between public colleges and university varsity teams, was held here.

In 2011, the PRISAA was participated in by more than 400 member colleges and universities from the country's 17 regions. More than 5,000 athletes and officials participated in the games.[3]

The stadium along with the rest of the facilities of the sports complex were damaged following the 2013 Zamboanga City siege by the Moro National Liberation Front. The stadium was used as an evacuation site by people displaced by the attacks and had to undergo renovation[2] from 2016 to 2019.[4]
