Brisbane 2032 Reveals Its Vision: How 'Believe. Belong. Become.' Will Shape the Games

Announced at a launch event in Brisbane, the vision outlines how the Games aim to inspire communities, strengthen national pride and deliver long-lasting benefits for Queensland and Australia, both on the road to 2032 and far beyond.

Unveiling the vision, Andrew Liveris, President of the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee, highlighted the significance of the five-word statement and its role in shaping the future of the Games.

"Our Games vision has significant symbolism behind it, with the genesis of each word acting as our north star towards the delivery of our Games in 2032 and an exciting era beyond," he said, as quoted by an International Olympic Committee (IOC) press release.

"I want to thank communities across Queensland and Australia for their input into the development of a Games vision and commitments that typify who we are and what we represent," he added.

The Chair of the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s Coordination Commission for Brisbane 2032, Mikaela Cojuangco Jaworski, also welcomed this new approach. "The vision is bold and reflects the warmth and dynamism of Queenslanders as they prepare to welcome the world to their Games," she said. "It has been a privilege for me and the entire Coordination Commission to participate in this impressive and wide-reaching consultation," she added.
