With just over three years to go until the world arrives in Los Angeles, Olympic organizers say they’re right on track.
During a press conference at the L.A. Convention Center, the LA28 Coordination Commission celebrated key accomplishments and laid out its vision for the future of the 2028 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.
“I sit in front of you a very satisfied and a very happy chair of the coordination commission after three days of intense meetings,” said the commission’s chair, marking 1,135 days until the Opening Ceremony.
Commission members praised the progress made since their last visit in November. The LA28 team has rapidly expanded, with leadership roles filled, functional areas activating, and detailed planning well underway alongside delivery partners.
Among the highlights is the development of a comprehensive master plan centered on existing venues across the city. Organizers confirmed that Hollywood Park will serve as the International Broadcast Center, and Dodger Stadium — which the group visited Tuesday during a Dodgers-Mets matchup — will also play a central role.
The Games are also expected to make a historic impact on women’s sports. In a nod to the 1984 Games, which saw the debut of the women’s marathon, LA28 officials revealed that for the first time, women’s soccer will feature more participating teams than the men’s competition.
Beyond sports, organizers honored communities impacted by recent disasters, including the Palisades and Eaton Canyon wildfires.
“As we get to 2028, I have no doubt that when we light that Olympic flame, it will be a flame of rebirth,” one official said, emphasizing the Games’ symbolic importance to the city’s resilience.
Looking ahead, fans can expect announcements on ticketing and hospitality plans in late 2025, the torch relay route in 2026, and a mascot reveal closer to the Games.
“I feel really good about the team that we have… We have all the pieces we need where we are today,” an organizer said.
