CAPAS, Tarlac – The Philippine Sports Commission is set to develop a 20-hectare
20-hectare world-class multi-sports hub in New Clark City here as a new training home for Filipino athletes.
“This is a framework that allows PSC facilities to generate recurring income through sustainable estate and facility management. This ensures stable funding that can be reinvested in national sports development year after year,” PSC chairperson Patrick Gregorio said of its project partnership with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority.
Under the partnership, a 10-hectare multi-specialty sports facility will be developed to help build a complete and inclusive sports ecosystem for Filipino athletes.
Another 10-hectare area will be allocated for the Philippine Tennis Center, reinforcing a long-term, discipline-based approach to national sports development and strengthening the country’s tennis program.
Aligned with President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s push to strengthen human capital, promote grassroots sports, and grow regional centers outside Metro Manila, the project is expected to boost sports growth by providing modern training facilities for Filipino athletes and expanding access to quality sports infrastructure beyond the National Capital Region.
