Building the Brisbane Lions Community Hub
A facility for our community and club.
In 2026, the Brisbane Lions will take the next bold step in our journey — the creation of the Brisbane Lions Community Hub, adjacent to Brighton Homes Arena at Springfield.
This community focussed precinct will provide a space of connection for our growing region and help to cement our future success — on and off the field.
But we can’t do it alone.
We’re calling on our entire Lions family to help raise the funds needed to complete this next chapter in our club’s story.
Your donation will ensure our players have everything they need to stay at the top of the competition, while creating spaces that welcome the wider community.
Big or small, every contribution brings us closer to delivering a legacy that will last for generations.
