Six cities across the United States have been named as hosts of soccer games at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Group stage games will go to New York City; Columbus, Ohio; Nashville, Tennessee; St. Louis, Missouri; plus San Diego and San Jose in California, organizers of the next Summer Games said on Tuesday.
LA 2028 chief executive Reynold Hoover told International Olympic Committee members the Games would be played in “premier existing Major League Soccer stadiums.”
The six facilities are New York City FC’s new stadium in Queens, New York (opening for 2027 season) and the homes of the Columbus Crew, Nashville SC, St. Louis City SC, San Jose Earthquakes and San Diego FC.
“Bringing Olympic Football group stage and knockout matches to stadiums across the United States means more fans will witness this global event and experience the Olympic spirit firsthand,” said Shana Ferguson, LA28 Chief of Sport and Games Delivery Officer. “With the LA28 Ticket Draw for all Olympic sports on the horizon, we’re inviting global Football fans to register now for a chance to secure their tickets to history in the summer of 2028.”
The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, was previously confirmed to host knockout and medal games. There will be 16 teams in the women’s tournament and 12 teams in the men’s tournament.
