Los Angeles officially received the relay to be the next venue for the Olympic Games in 2028, thus they will be the venues for the next event.
With an estimated budget of $6.9 billion, the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games are set to be a monumental showcase of modern infrastructure and historic heritage.
The budget will be covered through ticket sales, institutional sponsorships, payments from the International Olympic Committee and other sources of income. The committee confirms having already raised just over $1 billion toward a goal of $2.5 billion in national corporate sponsorships.
According to Adam Burke, president and CEO of the LA Tourism and Convention Board, Los Angeles is “the next logical destination for the Olympic Games,” highlighting the city’s recent transformation into a sporting epicenter.
SoFi Stadium, which opened in 2020, will be the epicenter of the opening ceremony, while other iconic venues such as the Memorial Coliseum and Crypto Arena will play key roles in the Olympic agenda. Additionally, the new Intuit Dome, home of the NBA Clippers, will host basketball events.
Preparation for Los Angeles 2028 has allowed the city to redesign and improve its transportation network. Projects stand out such as the extension of the subway line that will connect downtown Los Angeles with UCLA, the headquarters of the Olympic Village, and the Inglewood People Mover, an innovative automated train line that will facilitate access to the main Olympic venues.
Metro CEO Stephanie Wiggins underscores the importance of this effort, noting that “the biggest challenge is not waiting until 2028, but really seizing the opportunity between now and 2028 to help Angelenos and visitors alike reinvent the transportation network.” ”.
Pollution of the Seine River became a significant challenge during the recent Olympic Games in Paris. This has led organizers to place renewed emphasis on the Port of Long Beach for marathon and triathlon swimming events.
The ocean waters of Long Beach, which have been constantly rated with high quality standards, are presented as the ideal setting for these competitions in the next Olympic Games.
In anticipation of the arrival of thousands of athletes, journalists and tourists, the Los Angeles hotel industry has experienced notable growth, adding nine thousand new rooms in the last four years, with additional expansion plans before 2028.
Los Angeles 2028 promises to be not only a premier sporting event, but also a celebration of history, culture and innovation in one of the most iconic cities in the world. The countdown has begun, and the world eagerly awaits the Olympic renaissance in the city of stars.
