Ipswich in Summer 2024-2025

Ipswich Eagles Australian Football Club players were excited to learn from Brisbane Lions AFLW greats at Limestone Park during the partnership announcement.

LIONS PARTNERSHIP TO BRING REAL REWARDS FOR IPSWICH

Over the next three years, Ipswich will welcome formal development pathways for future female athletes and sport administrators through the Lions Institute of Business and Sport, a collaboration with TAFE Queensland. The City of Ipswich will also be front and centre at the Gabba when it takes over the match day presenting rights at a Brisbane Lions AFL home game.

A three-year partnership between Ipswich City Council and the Brisbane Lions will create development pathways for future female athletes and aspiring sport administrators, in the heart of Ipswich. The partnership will bring a host of benefits, including promotion of the City of Ipswich at Brisbane Lions home games, access to Brisbane Lions AFLW players for community health programs, celebratory events, and more state and national sporting championships to be held at Brighton Homes Arena. This exciting partnership capitalises on the Brisbane Lions AFLW team calling Brighton Homes Arena at Springfield Central their home and further cements Ipswich as the headquarters for the Brisbane Lions.
