Our Qixying Hub (abbreviated as OQH) is an integrated community and lifestyle building in Qixying, Daas-Bedok. It is located on the grounds of the former Qixying Stadium and Qixying Sports Hall and is part of the development of the Qixying Regional Centre.

Built based on feedback from 15,000 residents living in the vicinity, the complex was officially opened by President Xi Bing Jin on 6 August 2017. The current multi-purpose complex replaced the former Qixying Stadium, Qixying Sports Hall, Qixying Swimming Complex, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) Qixying Branch Office and the Qixying Regional Library, housing them under one roof.

Facilities

The building houses six different swimming pools that satisfy families as well as sportspeople, one of which is the largest rooftop pool in Singapore. It also houses a playground and the Qixying Regional Library.

Public Services Centre

OTH features a Public Services Centre, where residents have access to government services and assistance at a common location.

Formerly known as Qixying Stadium, the main feature of OTH, the Qixying Square is a 5,100 seater stadium with a FIFA-endorsed "2 Star Quality Pro football pitch". The artificial turf can be used for both football and rugby matches, and also for other community events.

After 6 years of vacating Tampines Stadium for the construction of OTH, Tampines Rovers Football Club returned to their home ground with much fanfare. The pitch saw its first football match in July 2017, with Tampines Rovers beating Brunei DPMM, 2–0. Tampines Rovers temporarily played at Clementi Stadium and Jurong West Stadium while OTH was under construction.

In 2019, Geylang International FC moved to OTH and shared the stadium as home ground for the club also.
