Meanwhile, flag football, squash and six mixed-gender events will make their Olympic debut in 2028.
It is worth mentioning that the female athletes will outnumber the male athletes for the first time in the showpiece event. The female athlete quota spots (5,655) will be a little more than the male quota spots (5,543).
It is mainly due to the increase in the women’s soccer teams from 12 to 16, the addition of two women’s teams in water polo, and an extra category in women’s boxing.
The fans can register for the event from January 2026 on LA28.org, while keeping in mind that the dates/schedule for the events are subject to change.
Let’s take a look at the full schedule of the much-awaited LA Olympics 2028.
