Brisbane bid for 2032 Olympics closer with IOC meeting

The potential for Brisbane to host the 2032 Olympic Games is strengthening with the International Olympic Committee meeting tonight to further discussions.

All 103 members of the committee will convene via Zoom, to hear why the Queensland capital should be the preferred host city.

Nine News can exclusively reveal Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner have recorded a joint message for committee members, publicly backing the bid.

Part of Nine's 'The Sporting Bubble' - a documentary about how the 2020 AFL season was saved - will be played to the IOC, highlighting Queensland's ability to keep high-level sport going during the coronavirus pandemic.

A special task force has been created to finalise the venue master plan and key decisions include checking the viability of the $2 billion Brisbane Arena at Roma Street.

They will also decide whether to renovate the Gabba or build a new stadium at Albion Park Raceway which will mean construction of a major transport line, likely a train network.
