History

edit

During the 2010–11 Queensland floods, Goodwin Park was submerged with the playing field virtually being destroyed.[1] The Queensland Government handed out payments to sporting clubs that were affected by the floods, with Olympic FC receiving money to help rebuild the playing field and dressing rooms.

Goodwin Park hosted the 2013 National Premier Leagues Queensland grand final, contested by Brisbane City and Olympic FC. The match ended in a draw after 120 minutes, with Kazuya Ito calmly placing a delicate panenka into the back of the net and Danny Byrne sealing a penalty shootout victory in front of a rapturous crowd.
