HOME STADIUM OF ST. LOUIS CITY SC IS ONE OF SEVEN VENUES CHOSEN TO HOLD MATCHES FOR THE 2028 OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC GAMES 

ST. LOUIS – February 3, 2026 – The Olympic Games return to St. Louis for the first time since 1904 as the home stadium of St. Louis CITY SC was selected as one of seven sites to host matches for the LA28 Olympic Football (Soccer) Tournaments.  The announcement came Tuesday morning from LA28 and was proclaimed proudly at a news conference hosted by St. Louis CITY SC. 

“We are honored, we are ready, and we look forward to welcoming the world to our stadium, to our city, and to our home in 2028,” said St. Louis CITY SC President and GM Diego Gagliani.  “Our stadium has quickly become known for one of the most electric environments in North American soccer, fueled by the passion and pride of St. Louis fans.  That energy is something we’re excited to share with the world in 2028.”

“Much credit and a huge thank you to CITY SC.  They’ve delivered a gem of a facility, a franchise, and now Olympic soccer to St. Louis,” said St. Louis Sports Commission President Marc Schreiber.  “Their mission to use soccer as a platform to showcase St. Louis to the world continues to be fulfilled.  It’s certainly fitting to have Olympic soccer matches take place in the city that’s the birthplace to soccer’s popularity in the United States and the birthplace to the Olympics in America.”

The five other metro areas announced to host matches besides Los Angeles are New York, Columbus, Nashville, San Jose, and San Diego.  The additional sites could host men’s and/or women’s football (soccer) tournament matches in early rounds or the knockout stages, with the final matches of both men’s and women’s tournaments scheduled to take place at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles. 

LA28 is developing the official schedule and the allocation of matches per city which will be announced this April before tickets go on sale.  For fans interested in attending Olympic matches the LA28 ticket registration draw is available now through March 18 at LA28.org at which fans can enter their interest in purchasing tickets when schedules are announced. 

Noting St. Louis’ location among the other cities chosen, Schreiber said that could mean a large number of visitors coming from the Midwest.  “I think it’s noteworthy that you’ve got St. Louis and nothing else west until you hit the west coast, and that says to me that we’ll see a tremendous regional draw and impact.”
