Victoria Park’s new arena to succeed iconic Gabba after 2032 Olympics

Following the 2032 Olympics, a new stadium at Victoria Park will take the place of Brisbane’s renowned Gabba. After the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics, a new $3.8 billion, 63,000-seat facility will be built, according to Queensland Premier David Crisafulli. The new stadium will serve as a multipurpose space for rugby and the AFL.

In addition to discussing the stadium’s difficulties and the necessity of making plans for the future, he asserted that the Gabba has been a fantastic location for many years. Crisafulli said that in order to host important series like the Men’s and Women’s Ashes Series, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, and ICC events in the future, Brisbane and Queensland needed to upgrade their infrastructure.

“Quebec now has the chance to host the BBL and WBBL in a brand-new stadium and draw the top cricket events in the world, including the ICC tournaments, the men’s and women’s Ashes Series, and the Australia-India Border-Gavaskar Trophy series. According to The Indian Express, Crisafulli told the journalists, “Today’s decision gives us certainty after many years without clarity.”

Queensland will concentrate on constructing a multifunctional stadium in Brisbane.

The Men’s Ashes match was the Gabba’s only confirmed international fixture for the 2025–2026 season. Considering its difficulties, the stadium’s future was uncertain. According to some reports, the Gabba might be rebuilt or redeveloped. The premier of Queensland affirmed that a new stadium would be built.

David Crisafulli believed that their new choice would give them the confidence to prepare both domestically and internationally in the future. In order to help the people of Queensland, he promoted the construction of a multifunctional stadium for sports like rugby and the AFL.

ogether with Queensland Cricket, the AFL, and the Brisbane Lions, we fervently supported the construction of a stadium in Victoria Park.

“This choice provides us with scheduling and venue certainty, enabling us to guarantee Brisbane hosts the greatest domestic and international cricket. TCricket will be crucial in guaranteeing that this significant investment provides long-term advantages for both cricket fans and the people of Queensland,” Crisafulli said.
