The games will be held from July 21 to August 6, 2028, and will be the first Summer Olympics to be held in the USA since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
It is noted that the five sports that will be added to the Olympics taking place in 2028 in Los Angeles were approved by the IOC Executive Board.
The sports are baseball/softball, cricket, and lacrosse which are returning to the Olympic Games, while flag football and squash will make their debut at the world’s premier sporting event in Los Angeles.
These specific sports were proposed by the Organizing Committee, only for their edition at the upcoming Games, and were examined by the Olympic Programme Commission before being submitted to the Executive Board.
As IOC President Thomas Bach noted, “the selection of these five new sports is in line with American sports culture and will showcase iconic American sports to the world, while bringing international sports to the United States. These sports will make the 2028 Olympics unique.”
“Their inclusion will allow the Olympic Movement to connect with new communities of athletes and fans in the USA and globally,” added Thomas Bach.
