Barrigada ( ch, Barigåda) is a village in the United States territory of Guam. A largely residential municipality, its main village is located south of the Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport near the intersections of Routes 8, 10, and 16.

Rizal Memorial Stadium

It served as the main stadium of the 1954 Asian Games and the Southeast Asian Games on three occasions.

It eventually became unsuitable for international matches which meant the Philippine national team would have to play their home games at an alternate venue.
