Australia will build a 63,000-seat stadium for the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, officials said Tuesday as they confirmed the storied "Gabba" cricket ground would be demolished after the event. The 63,000-seat stadium was billed as a "world class" venue that would also host other major sporting events in the future including cricket.

Queensland Premier David Crisafulli unveiled the plans for the future of the state's sports venues on Tuesday, highlighting cricket’s central role in the decision.
