Five New Sports Added to LA28 Olympic Program
BaseballSoftball, Cricket, Flag Football, Lacrosse, and Squash Proposed for Inclusion
Pending Approval, Sports Will Join Program for 2028 Olympic Games
The LA28 Organising Committee has proposed five new sports for inclusion in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles: BaseballSoftball, Cricket, Flag Football, Lacrosse, and Squash. The proposal will be submitted to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for final approval.
If approved, the five sports would join the existing 28 core sports on the Olympic program. BaseballSoftball and Cricket have previously been included in the Olympics, while Flag Football, Lacrosse, and Squash would be making their Olympic debut.
The addition of these sports is seen as a way to make the Olympics more inclusive and to reflect the growing popularity of these sports around the world. The LA28 Organising Committee believes that these sports would bring excitement and diversity to the Games and would help to engage new fans.
The IOC is expected to make a decision on the proposal in 2023.
