Lacrosse Venue Selected for LA28 Olympics

LOS ANGELES – The Stadium in Exposition Park was today announced as the lacrosse venue for the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028.

Located in the heart of Los Angeles, the Stadium in Exposition Park is a world-class venue known for its dynamic atmosphere and exceptional fan experience. The stadium will provide a stunning stage for the return of lacrosse as a medal sport in the Olympic Games for the first time in over a century.

The stadium is adjacent to the LA Memorial Coliseum, just south of the University of Southern California campus and downtown Los Angeles. Having opened in 2018, the stadium is home to Major League Soccer’s Los Angeles Football Club and the National Women’s Soccer League’s Angel City Football Club, and has hosted numerous high-profile sporting and entertainment events. Its central location in Exposition Park places it within walking distance of other key LA28 venues.

The stadium will be shared with flag football and will be configured according to the smaller field of play used for both sport disciplines, keeping the venue action-packed throughout the duration of the Games with back-to-back tournaments.

Lacrosse’s inclusion in the LA28 Games marks a significant milestone in the sport’s global growth and Olympic journey. The competition will feature the fast-paced, fan-friendly sixes discipline, designed to appeal to new audiences and reflect the modern Olympic vision.

All LA28 venue assignments are subject to final approval from the International Olympic Committee Executive Board next month.
