On October 16, 2017, Los Angeles 2028 received official support from the state of California. The IOC praised the LA bid for using a record-breaking number of existing and temporary facilities and for relying entirely on corporate funding.

On September 11, 2017, Los Angeles received formal approval from the IOC's evaluation commission. On August 11, 2017, Los Angeles City Council voted unanimously to approve the bid. On July 31, 2017, the IOC announced Los Angeles as the sole candidate for 2028, with $1.8 billion of additional funding from the IOC, allowing Paris to be confirmed as the host for 2024.

įollowing the decision to award the 20 Games simultaneously, Paris was understood to be preferred for the 2024 Games. The IOC set up a process where the Los Angeles and Paris 2024 bid committees and the IOC, held meetings in July 2017 to decide which city would host in each of the two years. The IOC formally proposed electing the 20 host cities at the same time in 2017, a proposal that an Extraordinary IOC Session approved on July 11, 2017, in Lausanne. On April 3, 2017, at the IOC convention in Denmark, Olympic officials met with bid committees from Los Angeles and Paris to discuss the possibility of naming two winners in the competition to host the 2024 Summer Games.Īfter these withdrawals, the IOC Executive Board met in Lausanne, Switzerland, on June 9, 2017, to discuss the 20 bid processes. A similar situation had already occurred during the bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics when Krakow, Lviv, Oslo, and Stockholm withdrew, resulting in a two-way decision between Beijing, China, and Almaty, Kazakhstan, with Beijing ultimately declared the winner. Budapest, Hamburg, and Rome eventually withdrew, leaving only Los Angeles and Paris. On September 16, 2015, the International Olympic Committee announced the candidature process and the five candidate cities for the 2024 Games: Budapest, Hamburg, Los Angeles, Paris, and Rome.

Having previously hosted the Summer Olympics in 19, Los Angeles will become the third three-time host city after London and Paris, and the first North American city ever to do so. They will mark the fifth Summer Olympics, and ninth Olympics overall, to be hosted by the United States. Los Angeles was formally awarded the Games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on September 13, 2017.

Los Angeles had originally bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The 2028 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, and commonly known as Los Angeles 2028 or LA28, is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from July 14 to Jin and around Los Angeles, California, United States.
