Brisbane Lions headquarters location Brisbane
The Brisbane Lions is a professional Australian rules football club based in Brisbane, Queensland, that plays in the Australian Football League (AFL).
The Brisbane Lions came into existence in late 1996, via a deal with the administrator of the 1883 AFL/VFL foundation club The Fitzroy Lions, where Fitzroy's club operations at the AFL level were merged with that of the 1987 Queensland expansion club Brisbane Bears. The colours of maroon, blue, and gold were drawn from both parent clubs.The Lions are one of the most successful AFL club of the 2000s, appearing in four consecutive grand finals from 2001 to 2004 and winning three premierships (2001, 2002, 2003). They play home matches at the Gabba, which was also the site of their offices and training facilities until moving these to Springfield Central Stadium in Ipswich in 2022.
The Lions also field teams in other competitions. They were a foundation team in the AFL Women's competition in 2017 and have featured in four grand finals in that time, winning the premiership in 2021 and finishing runners-up on the other occasions. They have also fielded a reserve men's team in several leagues over the years, and since 2021 the reserves team has competed in the Victorian Football League. The Brisbane Lions Academy, consisting of the club's best junior development signings, contests Division 2 of the men's and women's underage national championships and the Talent League.
