President of the Jamaica Olympic Association, Christopher Samuda, says organisers of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics and Paralympics are aware that the Summer Games are not just a signal spectacle and event, but an iconic experience.
Samuda was responding to the Australian City’s decision to build a new 63,000-seater stadium as the centrepiece of the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The multi-sport arena, to be built in the Victoria Park area of Brisbane, will host the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as the athletics.
The plans will see the new stadium become Brisbane’s home for cricket, with the famous Gabba stadium to be demolished following the Games.

A 25,000-seater national aquatic centre will be built in Spring Hill near the main stadium, while a 20,000-seater arena is planned near the main athletes village.
The rowing will be held in Queensland’s Fitzroy River, which is known to host saltwater crocodiles but the government says the waters are safe.
The Brisbane Queensland Tennis Centre will receive significant upgrades in order to host tennis events.
