Los Angeles 2028 Organizing Committee is the local organizing committee responsible for staging the 2028 Summer Olympics and 2028 Summer Paralympics in Los Angeles, coordinating with national, regional, and international partners. The committee liaises among the International Olympic Committee, United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, city agencies, private venue owners, and broadcasting partners to deliver competitions in venues across California, while managing legacy, sustainability, and community relations. It operates at the intersection of sport administration exemplified by entities such as Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and stakeholders like AEG, LA28.
The committee was formed after the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2028 Summer Olympics to Los Angeles in 2017, following a bidding process that involved cities such as Paris, Budapest, Hamburg, Rome, and Boston. Its establishment followed precedents set by organizing bodies for the 2012 Summer Olympics, 2016 Summer Olympics, and 2024 Summer Olympics with oversight intersecting with municipal institutions such as the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, State of California, and federal agencies including the United States Department of Transportation and Federal Aviation Administration. Foundational stakeholders included the United States Olympic Committee (later United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee), private promoters like Anschutz Entertainment Group, universities such as University of Southern California and UCLA, and venue operators of sites like the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena).
Governance structures reflect models used by past organizers such as the committees for Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and London 2012. The board integrates representatives from International Olympic Committee, United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee, Mayor of Los Angeles, and business leaders including executives from Aerospace Corporation, Walt Disney Company, NBCUniversal, and Walt Disney Studios. Leadership roles mirror those held by officials in IOC-aligned bodies: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and sport directors who coordinate with federations like USA Track & Field, USA Swimming, USA Basketball, and international federations such as World Athletics, FINA, and FIBA. Legal and compliance functions engage firms experienced with United States Department of Justice regulations, anti-doping agencies like World Anti-Doping Agency, and arbitration bodies such as the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The committee's remit spans competition management, accreditation, athlete services, transportation, security coordination, and volunteer programs, echoing responsibilities undertaken by organizers of Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. It negotiates venue use with operators of Dodger Stadium, Rose Bowl Stadium, SoFi Stadium, and cultural institutions such as The Getty Center and Los Angeles Convention Center. Coordination with broadcasters mirrors agreements made by NBCUniversal for prior Games, while marketing aligns with campaign partners including LA Tourism, Brand USA, and global sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Visa, and Toyota. Athlete experience decisions involve collaboration with the International Paralympic Committee, United States Paralympic Committee, and national governing bodies like USA Gymnastics.
Operational planning leverages expertise from firms and agencies involved with events like the FIFA World Cup, Super Bowl LVI, and NBA Finals. Task forces address transport logistics referencing Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Los Angeles County), Los Angeles World Airports, and rail operators including Metrolink and Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Security planning coordinates with Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, California National Guard, and federal partners such as the Department of Homeland Security and Transportation Security Administration. Information technology and accreditation systems are informed by vendors used by Olympic Broadcasting Services and by technology firms like IBM, Microsoft, and Cisco Systems.
Venue coordination includes legacy and temporary facilities across sprawling sites such as USC Village, Petersen Automotive Museum (for cultural programming), and sports grounds like Venice Beach (surfing and beach volleyball), requiring input from property owners including Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Rams, and Los Angeles Chargers. Infrastructure upgrades interface with projects tied to Measure M (Los Angeles County), Expo Line, Crenshaw/LAX Line, and transit-oriented development partners including LA Metro and regional planners. Environmental reviews and permitting involve agencies like the California Environmental Protection Agency, Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety, and coastal regulators such as the California Coastal Commission.
Marketing strategy builds on successful campaigns from London 2012 and Beijing 2008, coordinating sponsorship portfolios with multinational partners including Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Samsung, Visa, and media rights agreements with broadcasters like NBCUniversal, Eurosport, and streaming platforms operated by Amazon or YouTube. The committee's commercial team negotiates licensing, merchandising, and ticketing with platforms like Ticketmaster and works with cultural partners such as Los Angeles Philharmonic, Broad Museum, and film studios including Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures for integration into opening and closing ceremonies.
Legacy planning references frameworks used in Barcelona 1992, Sydney 2000, and London 2012 to ensure post-Games benefits for neighborhoods like South Los Angeles, Inglewood, Long Beach, and Santa Monica. Sustainability initiatives coordinate with United Nations Environment Programme goals, California climate policies tied to California Air Resources Board, and green building standards promoted by the U.S. Green Building Council (LEED). Community engagement partners include nonprofit organizations such as United Way of Greater Los Angeles, LA84 Foundation, Inner-City Arts, and workforce development entities like Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and California State University, Los Angeles to support job creation, youth sport development, and venue reuse strategies.
