Wikipedia - Brisbane Lions
The Brisbane Lions are a professional Australian rules football club based in Brisbane, Queensland, that compete in the Australian Football League (AFL), the sport's elite competition. Brisbane are the two-time reigning AFL premiers, having won the 2024 Grand Final by 60 points and the 2025 Grand Final by 47 points.
The Lions came into existence in 1996 when the AFL expansion club the Brisbane Bears, established in 1987, absorbed the AFL operations of one of the league's foundation clubs, Fitzroy, established in Melbourne, Victoria in 1883. The club's colours of maroon, blue, and gold were drawn from both Fitzroy and the Bears.
The club plays its home matches at the Gabba in Brisbane, and its headquarters and training facilities are located at Springfield Central Stadium. The Lions are the most successful AFL club of the 21st century, having won five premierships, more than any other club. The Lions are also the most successful non-Victorian club and have the best strike rate to win a premiership across the entire AFL competition (5 premierships in 29 completed seasons). The Lions appeared in four consecutive grand finals from 2001 to 2004, a period in which they won three premierships (2001, 2002, 2003). In the 2020s, they again appeared in three consecutive grand finals, finishing as runners-up in 2023, and winning their fourth and fifth premierships in 2024 and 2025 respectively.
The Lions were a foundation team in the AFL Women's competition in 2017, and have featured in six grand finals in that time, winning the premiership in 2021 and again in 2023, finishing runners-up on the other four occasions. They also field a reserves men's team in the Victorian Football League, and operate an under-18s academy which contests Division 2 of the men's and women's underage national championships and the Talent League.
History
History
In the inaugural year of the Brisbane Lions (1997), the club affiliated with the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL), allowing players not selected for the AFL team to be drafted to individual clubs. Reserves players not on an AFL list cannot be called up to the AFL team, they must first be drafted into the AFL.
Between 1998 and 2010, the club's reserves team participated in the QAFL, where it was initially known as the "Lion Cubs". The club won their first reserve-grade premiership in 2001 when they defeated the Southport Sharks in the Grand Final. In 2004, they began to compete as the Suncoast Lions Football Club. The side played home matches at the Gabba (as a curtain raiser game for Brisbane Lions matches) and, formerly, at the Fishermans Road football complex on the Sunshine Coast.
In 2011, the team moved to the multi-state North East Australian Football League (NEAFL), where they won four premierships − 2012, 2013, 2017 and 2019.
Following the NEAFL disbanding after the 2019 season, the reserves side moved to the Victorian Football League (VFL), with their first season in 2021.
Since 2023, the side has played reserves matches at Springfield Central Stadium.
