Quirino Stadium, Sports stadium in Bantay, Philippines.
Quirino Stadium is a sports facility in Bantay that features a grass football field, an athletics track, basketball courts, and tennis facilities within its 5,000-capacity grounds. Multiple sports can be played on the same site, making it a versatile venue for local and regional competitions.
The stadium was founded in 1953 under President Elpidio Quirino, after whom it is named. That same year it hosted the Palarong Pambansa, the nation's major student sports competition.
The stadium serves as a gathering place for local athletes and students who participate in regional competitions and sports training throughout the year. It has become central to how the community in Ilocos Sur approaches physical education and competitive sports.
The facility is busiest on school days and during major sporting events, so it is easiest to visit during smaller or regional competitions. Visitors should expect variable conditions and occasional maintenance work, particularly when no official events are scheduled.
In 2016 the stadium hosted a football match between the Philippines national team and Perth Glory FC, an event that brought international club competition to Northern Luzon. This game represented a rare moment when the small local community became part of the global sports spotlight.
