As a part of Australia's national sport plan, Sport 2030, the government is committed to strengthening Australia as sporting industry to promote and sustain industry growth, including through the coordinated delivery of major sporting events, such as the ICC T20 World Cup. Consistent with the aims of Sports Diplomacy 2030, hosting the ICC T20 World Cup will strengthen Australia's sport and provide a platform to leverage sport to maximise trade, tourism and investment opportunities. Outside of the ICC T20 World Cup, we're investing up to $10 million to bring the Olympics back to Australia by supporting the bid for South-East Queensland for the 2032 Olympics. We are also backing Football Federation Australia's bid for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup, and wouldn't it be so cool to see them playing on Australian soil?
