Gabba to be Destroyed After 2032 Olympics: The Gabba, one of the legendary stadiums in the world, would get destroyed after the 2032 Olympics, which is about to be held in Queensland, as revealed by the Queensland government
Building a new 63000 capacity stadium in Victoria Park in Brisbane is under the plan, which will be dressed up for the inaugural and closing ceremonies of the Olympics.

Queensland Cricket CEO Terry Svenson stated:
“The Gabba has been wonderful venue for cricket for many years and has provided fans and players with countless memories – however the challenges the stadium faces are well documented, and we need to look to the future,” Queensland Cricket CEO Terry Svenson said in a statement.
As the fog around Gabba getting cleared, it will help Cricket Australia in the venue allocation for international cricket.
“This decision gives us certainty about venues and scheduling, which in turn allows us to ensure Brisbane hosts the very best possible international and domestic cricket,” CA said.
Gabba has hosted plenty of memorable cricket matches, including a fiery Test in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024 against India. The venue has served as the most dominant stadium of the Australian cricket team with an unbeaten run from 1988 to 2021.
As Cricket debuts in the Olympics in 2028, Australia is eyeing to win the Olympic gold in 2032 in their homeland.
“Wouldn’t it be amazing to see the Australian cricket team win gold at an Olympic final? The Gabba’s swansong. The Gabba is at its end of life. It hasn’t been well maintained, and we do need a stadium to host this great show, and there is an opportunity for legacy play,” Queensland Premier Crisafulli said.
