The Australian city of Brisbane has officially become the host of the 2032 Olympic Games. The selection was confirmed at a public meeting of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and confirmed by the entity through social networks. In all, 80 votes were cast, with 77 in favor, three abstentions, and a majority of 39. Brisbane had 72 votes in favour, with five against.
As a result, Australia became an Olympic host three times. Previously, the Games were held in Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000. The IOC now has a map of the following three summer games: the 2024 Games will be held in Paris, while the 2028 Games will be held in Los Angeles.
