The Davao City–University of the Philippines Sports Complex^[1] is a sports facility complex under-construction in Davao City, Philippines.

History

Isidro Ungab pushed for the construction of the sports complex during his tenure as Congressman representing Davao City's third district.^[2] In August 2015, the Government of Davao City and the University of the Philippines Mindanao signed a memorandum of agreement where it was stated that the university will donate a 20 hectares (49 acres) property it owns to the city government for a sports complex.^[3]

The construction of the complex costing ₱8 billion is planned to be finished by 2018 in line with the city's bid to host the 2019 Palarong Pambansa.^[4] By January 2016, the construction of the facility is already in full swing.^[2]

By September 2016,^[4] the indoor multi-purpose gym or the UP Kinetics Building^[2] is 38 percent complete and the construction of phase 1 of and 2 of the stadium and athletic oval was ongoing.^[4]

The Davao City Sports Complex will be the first public sports complex of the city since the conversion of the old PTA grounds in 2007 into a park.^[3]
