The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board has officially approved the event programme and athlete quotas for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games (LA28). The total number of medal events will increase to 351, up by 22 from Paris 2024, while the overall athlete quota will remain at 10,500. Of these, 698 spots are allocated to five newly added sports: baseball/softball, cricket, flag football, lacrosse, and squash.
Gender equality is a key highlight of the LA28 programme. For the first time in Olympic history, the number of women’s teams in all team sports will match that of men. Notably, the women’s football tournament will feature 16 teams — surpassing the men’s 12 — while water polo will see an expansion to 12 teams each for both men and women. Boxing has also added new women’s weight categories, achieving full gender parity in event distribution.
Out of the 351 medal events, 161 are women’s events, 165 are men’s, and 25 are mixed. The updated programme also includes six new mixed-gender team events, such as mixed relays in athletics, archery, golf, gymnastics, and table tennis.
The expanded programme creates more opportunities for athletes across various disciplines: swimming will feature new 50m events in backstroke, butterfly, and breaststroke; sport climbing will separate boulder and lead disciplines; 3×3 basketball will increase to 12 teams per gender; and beach sprint rowing will make its Olympic debut.
The programme decisions are guided by four key principles: gender equality, global appeal, cost-effectiveness, and athlete focus. In total, 31 core sports will be featured, along with five additional sports proposed by the LA28 Organising Committee and approved by the IOC.
