Iconic Gabba Stadium to Be Demolished After 2032 Olympics – Shocking Update for Cricket Fans!
The Queensland government confirmed Brisbane’s Gabba Stadium will be demolished after the 2032 Olympics. A new 60,000-capacity stadium at Victoria Park will replace it, hosting cricket and AFL. Originally planned $2.7 billion upgrades were scrapped due to public backlash. The Gabba, which hosted 67 men’s Tests since 1931, faces an emotional farewell, possibly with Olympic cricket in 2032.
For the Indian fans, the iconic Gabba stadium in Brisbane, famous for Australia’s cricketing dominance, will be demolished after the 2032 Olympics. The Queensland government confirmed that a new 60,000-capacity stadium at Victoria Park will replace it, becoming the home ground for Brisbane Lions, Queensland Bulls, and Brisbane Heat. The Gabba, which has hosted 67 men’s Test matches and 2 women’s Tests since its first Test in 1931, recently lost its status as the opening venue for Australia’s Test summer.
The initial A$2.7 billion redevelopment plan was scrapped due to rising costs and public backlash, along with a revised A$600 million renovation. Cricket might return to the Olympics in 2028, and if retained for 2032, matches could be played at the Great Barrier Reef Arena and the Gabba before its demolition. Additionally, Australia will get a new international stadium with a roof in Hobart by 2029, ensuring cricket’s future infrastructure.
