Brisbane is on the cusp of being the third Australian city to host the Summer Olympic Games as the IOC announce it as their preferred venue for the 2032 Games.

The International Olympic Committee's Future Host Summer Commission has designated Brisbane as the "preferred candidate city" to host the 2032 Summer Olympic Games, a decision endorsed unanimously by the IOC's executive board.The IOC will now move discussions to a targeted dialogue followed by final negotiations with the city then elected at a future IOC session, likely within the next year.

Should the exclusive negotiations prove successful then Brisbane would become the third Australian city to host the Summer Games after Melbourne and Sydney . Other cities that had shown interest in the 2032 Games included Doha, Budapest, Istanbul, Jakarta, New Delhi and St Petersburg.

Maybe we will get Infastructure upgrades , big money for business and top sporting venues. But lots of people big drawback.

If were not dead by then

henmacca6 best stay there for another 11 years now

thats 11 years away

Smh, should be Pyongyang

I mean... we haven’t even had the Tokyo Olympics yet...

No one cares

'Let the bribes, er games, commence..'

Looking forward to ScoMo opening the ceremonies. Then he can hand over to JoshFrydenberg

They'll still be on lockdown.

Liberals will change it to the Snowflake Games and award everyone with a gold medal.

Check out this incredible clip from my episode with Rob McClanahan talking about the gold medal game, Herb's famous take it to your f'n grave's speech and scoring the winning goal!

How do you host the Summer games in a country where its Winter in August?

LOL there’s not gonna be a 2032 summer games.

Dawg I dont really care

It's a beautiful city but I worry this is just going to cost Brisbane billions and is just a vanity project.

Brisbane is the most beautiful city that really has it all 😍 was lucky enough to stay there for a few days, and I even preferred it over Sydney 🙊 it’s a little slice of paradise

Brisbane dose not have the infrastructure or public transportation to provide for such an event

SadiqKhan London 2036 it is then.

Only a good idea if they pull a Sydney and keep most of the infrastructure at Olympic park in use, or if they one-up us and don't build a stupid monorail only to tear it down years later

I thought the IOC had stopped awarding the games to new cities because the enormous costs of building the sites and was going just going to rotate it through cities that have hosted several times before? (i.e. Paris, LA, Tokyo etc).

Everybody except those raking in profits, kickbacks, and bribes agree they should just build a permanent location in Greece.

The only product of sport is gambling Sick of them claiming support because not one else gets to speak

I would love to see the Olympics return to Australia. The 2000 Olympics in Sydney were stunning and so memorable.

2032 👽🛸

Well it's good that they aren't choosing to place them in third world countries anymore where the debt from hosting the events would suffocate them for decades.

Remember in 1993, Beijing were the hot favourites to win the 2000 rights....don’t get excited yet

The Olympics are a tremendous waste of taxpayer money. We don't want to follow the path of Greece and spend money heading into a global recession. NoOlympics

But will the pandemic even be over by then? Hard to say hard to say.

Australia is a fucking racist country. Country is beautiful as a blessed Mother Nature. But the fucking people for the most part is white trash and racist.

awesome! the capital of bogan oz where racism is rampant and unashamedly praised as patriotism 🤮

Brisbane. One of the most boring cities I have even been to.

I spent a total of 18 hours in Australia. All 18 in Brisbane. Lovely place.

I personally think they should wait until 2020(1) Olympics are over. Should something happen to them and they can't go on as planned (knock on wood) then Japan should be given the opportunity of hosting these and given Brisbane 2036.

The way the world going we all go be dead

We can't afford a living wage, but we can afford this abomination. Check.

I live here, in the place that excels at the very concept of beige. This just flat out devalues the event for future generations. This is not Barcelona or London. World Cup in Qatar anyone?

Ick I might leave town for a month

That’s two years after the next covid appearance

QLD will be under water by then if their crazy coal loving LNP right wing nut jobs continue to destroy this country.

I think it's a little premature to assume that COVID will be gone by 2032.

I want to go!

Orlando2Bloom let’s get tickets

Can we focus on getting concerts and events back to normal first? Lol

See you in 2032 Brisbane!

I totally freaked out and thought this was about Brisbane CA.

Is the Olympics actually good for humanity? Competitiveness on the world stage breeds nationalism. Which really isn't healthy for an already dividing world.

Hey tonychave, over 50 softball?!?

Why?

brezshia24 👀 2032 I hope you don’t have plans!!!!!!

New Orleans 2100 Summer Olympics! :D

Imagine thinking about 2032 rn

Who gives a flying rat shit about the Olympics anymore?

AOC said we are going to die in 10 years, why is there an Olympics?

Sydney should put in a bid to host it instead. We've got everything ready to go. NSW taxpayers deserve a proper return on investment on the 2000 Olympics infrastructure build.

Why not go back to Sydney, and give travel vouchers, rather than see ‘abandoned Brisbane Olympic structures” in ten year. I’m sure 20% of facilities can be recycled.

I won’t be alive in 2032

If I’m alive I’m going 🌹

damn. we can’t even get the 2020 ones to happen first?

We’re gonna be in mars

Qld already has 100+ billion dollar debt. Olympics will only increase the debt. No doubt plukachuk will beg the feds to bail Qld out or pay for it.

Cause no one else wants it.

Queensland seeking to slide down the debt sinkhole further?

Maybe it's just a last call for bribes to the IOC?

This is great but it’s the football World Cup (soccer) I’d really like Australia to have

Does Brisbane really need an 80,000 seat athletics stadium? What will this get used for when the one it has from the 1982 Commonwealth Games (which isn’t suitable for the Olympic) is barely used.

Don't, its the biggest waster of public money ever. All the effort and money spent just for two weeks!

Of all places it's Queensland? Bloody Hanson country.

Great news. Hopefully Brisbane will host the Olympic Games. 💪👏👍

If cricket, and tennis can be given the go ahead I think international-students who contribute almost $32 Billion into the Australian economy should be let back into the country!! LetUsBackToAus InternationalStudentsAustralia ScottMorrisonMP DanielAndrewsMP

Brisbane named 'preferred city' to host 2032 Olympic GamesAustralia could be set to hold its third Olympic Games after Brisbane was named the preferred candidate to host the Global sporting event in 2032. 9News Details: Why any country wants to host the Olympics is beyond me GladysB Dom_Perrottet The NSW Government should seriously put in a counterbid to host the 2032 Olympics, as Sydney already has 99% of the infrastructure. How much nepotism is there on the board of directors? You have an Aust as head director... This is making a mockery of the games selection process

IOC officially selects Brisbane as preferred candidate for 2032 Olympic GamesAustralia has become the strong favourite to host the 2032 Olympics after the International Olympic Committee gave it the status of its preferred bidder early on Thursday morning. Will Australia be out of lockdown by 2032? Brilliant! Brisbane and Queensland can now look forward to 10-15 years of no investment in infrastructure while the state pays for this carnival. We suffered in Sydney for it, and I always thought it was just the incompetence of Bob Carr. hopefully the borders are open by then!? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Brisbane firms as 2032 Olympic Games host | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says the 2032 Olympic Games is Queensland’s to lose.\n\nThe International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced Brisbane is the preferred city to host the global event.\n\n“You’d much prefer to be in our position than those of other nations who are very keen to host the 2032 Olympics,” Mr Gleeson said.\n\n“Two days before the Tokyo Olympics in July we’re expecting an announcement from the IOC.”\n Well, the man should certainly know about losers. We Queenslanders don't care about Peter Gleeson. Organising these games will be good for our economy. Will create many jobs for Queenslanders. What was Gleeson's opinion about the Sydney Olympics? Typical Skynews hosts jealous of any Labor governments success!!! Get over it!!!!
