Opened in 1966 by President Ferdinand Marcos, the Amoranto Sports Complex has been a landmark in Quezon City. This sprawling 5.8-hectare complex, named after former Quezon City Mayor Norberto Amoranto, originally boasted a grandstand, an eight-lane track and field oval, bleachers, and a gymnasium. Its construction cost a hefty ₱2 million. The Amoranto Sports Complex has seen its share of glory and decline. It hosted the cycling events of the 2005 Southeast Asian Games in its velodrome. The complex even housed national cyclists until 2017. However, by the 2010s, the Amoranto Sports Complex fell into disrepair. Its last major competition was the 2013 POC-PSC Philippine National Games. The velodrome, once a point of pride, became outdated by international standards. The Amoranto Sports Complex has experienced a revival. In 2022, renovations began, including the construction of the 3,500-seat Amoranto Arena and a 10-lane Olympic-sized swimming pool. A tennis area was also added to the Amoranto Indoor Sports Facility. By January 2023, the Amoranto Sports Complex was declared fit for international tournaments once again. Today, the Amoranto Sports Complex continues to serve the community. It offers a tennis court, six badminton courts, a martial arts facility, a swimming pool, a multipurpose gym, a dedicated boxing and weightlifting gym, and even a library. In 2024, the Amoranto Arena became the home of the Quezon City Toda Aksyon in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), marking a new chapter in the complex’s history.
