Greater Geelong Deputy Mayor Trent Sullivan

Our calendar of major events in 2022 is full of highlights but this is a huge coup. As the only regional city in the country to host T20 Men’s World Cup matches, Geelong is cementing its reputation as a destination for premier sporting and cultural events.

Hosting two countries for a total of six games will bring thousands of visitors to the region for a celebration of cricket, culture and community. We are honoured to host Sri Lanka and Namibia and to showcase Geelong on the global stage.

By having matches spread across the nation in seven host cities and making tickets accessibly priced, we are hoping as many people as possible will be able to experience the incredible atmosphere that international fans bring to global sporting events, as well as the unique, fast-paced and unpredictable nature of T20 cricket. World Cups are about bringing people from all backgrounds and cultures together and we hope to safely host over 800,000 fans at Australia’s iconic cricket venues later this year.
