History
Isidro Ungab pushed for the construction of the sports complex during his tenure as Congressman representing Davao City's third district. 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.
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. By January 2016, the construction of the facility is already in full swing.
By September 2016, the indoor multi-purpose gym or the UP Kinetics Building is 38 percent complete and the construction of phase 1 of and 2 of the stadium and athletic oval was ongoing.
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.
