Olympic venues for 2024 and 2028 confirmed.


After weeks of negotiations 👥 with the International Olympic Committee, Los Angeles 🇺🇸 officials, reached a deal to host the 2028 Summer Games under terms they hope will generate hundreds of millions 💰 in savings and additional revenues.

The agreement will bring the Olympics back to Southern California 🌴 for a third time, after Los Angeles hosted in 1984 and 1932. It also opens the door 🚪 for the 2024 Games to be held in Paris.🇫🇷

“It has been certainly a roller coaster 🎢,” LA bid chairman Casey Wasserman told The Times, adding that IOC officials “showed a real willingness to be thoughtful and creative.”

The 2028 Olympics will be the first American-hosted 🇺🇸 games since 1996 in Atlanta.

The French 🇫🇷 capital was seen as the sentimental choice for 2024, with the event falling 100 years after it last hosted the Olympics‼️

The decision avoids inflicting another defeat on Paris 🇫🇷 — which lost with bids for the 1992, 2008 and 2012 Olympics — and the United States 🇺🇸. New York and Chicago both lost heavily for 2012 and 2016, respectively.

UCJ, UNILORIN.
