ASM Global Asia Pacific has been re-appointed by the Queensland Government through Stadiums Queenslands to manage Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium for a five-year period, commencing 1 January 2023.

The venue management company has managed Suncorp Stadium since its redevelopment in 2003 and was awarded the new management rights following a formal tender process.

Suncorp Stadium general manager, Alan Graham paid tribute to the outstanding work of the Stadium Management Team which has been instrumental in creating and delivering world class sporting and entertainment events for the people of Queensland.

“It is also fortunate that we are part of a world-wide network in ASM Global which has assisted us in continuing to take advantage of the latest innovations and cutting-edge technology ensuring the Suncorp Stadium team remains amongst the most elite in the world,” Graham said.

Under ASM Global’s management, Suncorp Stadium has gone from humble beginnings to become an internationally acknowledged venue that has four anchor tenants and hosts world class sporting events including Australia’s State of Origin Series and Rugby World Tests, alongside concert and entertainment events.

Since 2003, the venue has held some 750 events with more than 19 million fans in attendance and been recognised as one of the world’s leading venues. It was the only Australian operator and one of seven of the world’s biggest stadiums to be chosen as a finalist in the international Stadium Business Awards in Manchester in the UK in 2021, and was also named ‘Best of Queensland Experience 2022’ from a line-up of 4,700 venues.

In 2023, the stadium will host eight games of the FIFA Women’s World Cup – the third most matches of the tournament as well as headline entertainment events including Elton John, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Ed Sheeran.

ASM Global Asia Pacific manages a number of venues across Australia, New Zealand, the Asia Pacific and Middle East.
