The Rizal Memorial Stadium has witnessed several historical sports events since it opened in 1934.

The stadium was named after Dr. Jose Rizal, the Philippines’ national hero.

The 1954 Asian Games and The Beatles’ 1966 sold out concert was held here.

Another historic event would happen on July 3, 2011. It will be the Philippine national football team’s second leg World Cup Qualifying game against Sri Lanka.
