The Queensland government has confirmed that the emblematic Gabba stadium in Brisbane will be demolished after the 2032 Olympic Games. According to Queensland’s plans, Cricket will move to a new stadium of 60,000 inhabitants of Victoria Park, which will be built for the Olympic Games.
Gabba has been the place of several emblematic moments of Australian crickets. The test matches in Australia will be played in a new stadium after the 2032 Olympic Games. The newly built place in Victoria Park will serve in the field for the Brisbane Lions, Queensland Bulls and Brisbane Heat.
Gabba must be demolished after 2032 Olympic Games
The Prime Minister of Queensland, David Crisafulli, unveiled the Olympic infrastructure plans on Tuesday. Since he received the 2032 Olympic Games in 2021, the State has explored several proposals before finalizing the future of sports sites.
“The Gabba is at the end of life,” said Crisafulli. “It was not well maintained, and we need a stadium to host this great show, and there is an opportunity for the inherited game.
“It has become a choice between spending billions on temporary facilities and temporary stands that have not given any inheritance, or securing the future of AFL [and] Cricket in a new house. “”
The Labor government planned to demolish and rebuild the Brisbane stadium for $ 2.7 billion before the 2032 Olympic Games, but it was abolished due to the public reaction on the cost increase. A revised renovation plan of $ 600 million has also been abandoned under the new government.
Amazing to see the Australian cricket team win gold – David Crisafulli
The cricket will return to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games Olympic Games, after having presented for the last time in 1900. If sport is kept for the 2032 Olympic Games in Brisbane, the matches should be played at Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay and Gabba.
David Crisafulli expressed his enthusiasm as to the possibility that Australia won an Olympic gold medal in cricket during the farewell event of Stade Brisbane.
“Wouldn’t it be incredible to see the Australian cricket team winning gold in an Olympic final? The Swansy of Gabba,” Crisafulli said at an event in Brisbane.
Australia was preparing to finish the place of international cricket before 2032
Stade Brisbane was a historic place since he organized his first test in 1931. He hosted 67 male games and two female tests. The place recently lost its status as a opening ground for the Australian Summers, Perth ready to host the first Ashes test in 2025-2010. Gabba will host the second match.
The future of the field remains uncertain beyond next summer, but it should at least host white ball games and could still hold test cricket before its demolition.
Australia is expected to obtain another place in international cricket before 2032, with a new stadium in Hobart – completing a roof – to be completed by 2029.
Cricket Australia announced a seven -year plans plan in 2024, guaranteeing international matches at the Brisbane stadium only until the next Ashes series, in the midst of current debates on its redevelopment or replacement.
