A permanent tribute to the Australian Women’s National Football Team, the Matildas, will soon be installed at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. Commissioned by Brisbane-based Urban Art Projects (UAP), the tribute will feature a high-quality cast Bronze Bas Relief depicting the Matildas’ historic performance at the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023™.
Unlike other statues at the stadium, the tribute will be a 6-metre wide, 2.5-metre high bas relief, capturing the Matildas in action during their quarter-final defeat of France at Suncorp Stadium in August 2023.
The tribute follows a commitment from the Queensland Government in August 2023 to honour the team, who captured the hearts of the nation during the tournament. It is expected to be completed and installed before the end of 2024.
Established in Brisbane in 1993, UAP is renowned for its global public art commissions, with works across Australia and internationally.
