LA28 Football (Soccer) Tournament Dates Confirmed

The LA28 Football (Soccer) Tournament will start on July 10, 2028, four days ahead of the Olympic Opening Ceremony. This extended match schedule follows the decision of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board and will provide each team with two extra rest days throughout the tournament compared to previous Olympic Games. 

Group stage and quarterfinal matches will take place in seven cities across the U.S., bringing the excitement of the LA28 Olympic Games coast to coast, with the men’s and women’s teams advancing from east to west throughout the duration of the Games as the tournament progresses. The two additional rest days, made possible by the extended competition window, are scheduled after the group stage and quarterfinal matches to allow additional recovery time for players as teams advance toward the final matches at Rose Bowl Stadium in the Pasadena Zone.
