North Queensland Stadium, also known as Country Bank Stadium, has hosted many national and international sports games since opening in 2020. It is the home of the North Queensland Cowboys NRL team, hosts Queensland Reds rugby union games, and welcomed international music icon Sir Elton John during his Australian tour. The stadium is primed for elite athletes and competition, offering four independent change rooms with dedicated wet areas, access to hot/cold spas, a warmup area, medical and massage rooms, in addition to a variety of corporate hospitality and function spaces.
Brisbane 2032 use:
The North Queensland Stadium is earmarked to host the football preliminary events with more than 25,000 spectator seats.
While there are no major works required at this facility as part of the Brisbane 2032 infrastructure program, shortly before the Games, the venue will be prepared for hosting Brisbane 2032 events.
All venues are being considered within the 100 Day Review into Games infrastructure and planning.
