Quezon City is positioning itself as the Sports Capital of the Philippines, with major investments in facilities, grassroots programs, and community-centered initiatives aimed at promoting healthier and more active lifestyles.
Key projects are underway at the Quezon City Memorial Circle, the Amoranto Sports Complex, and Teresa Heights in Novaliches, creating more spaces where residents can stay active, connect with others, and pursue sports opportunities.
Last August 20, 2025, the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) Board led by Chairman Pató Gregorio met with Mayor Joy Belmonte, Vice Mayor Gian Sotto, City Administrator Aldrin Cua, and other city officials to discuss a shared vision for sports development. PSC commissioners, the executive director, and the chief of staff were also present.
“We were happily surprised at the depth and range of sports development in Quezon City. Mayor Joy and Vice Mayor Gian have a deep understanding of how sports can drive both social and economic development,” said Gregorio. “The PSC is fully committed to helping QC with all their sports initiatives as they pursue their vision of becoming the Sports Capital of the Philippines.”
Quezon City has rolled out programs aligned with President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.’s call for Filipinos to adopt healthier lifestyles. Among them is Car-Free and Carefree Sundays along Tomas Morato Avenue, which turns the busy street into a safe space for joggers, cyclists, and pedestrians every weekend.
In August, the city also opened the Olympic-sized swimming pool at the Amoranto Sports Complex for public use, a facility that meets global standards. Later this year, on September 28, Quezon City will host the 2025 National Aquathlon Championships, further solidifying its status as a venue for national competitions.
Youth development is another priority. Thousands of residents are benefiting from free training programs in wushu, arnis, muay thai, and wrestling—initiatives designed to produce athletes while instilling discipline, confidence, and pride.
To sustain these efforts, Quezon City has established a Sports Development Office tasked with ensuring that programs are consistent, sustainable, and capable of nurturing talent for years to come.
With PSC’s support and strong leadership from the city government, Quezon City is steadily realizing its ambition to become the nation’s Sports Capital—building facilities that inspire, programs that empower, and communities that grow stronger through sports.
