đ¶ Letâs go girls! đ¶
Time to make herstory at the LA28 Games! For the first time in the 128-year history of women competing in the Olympics, the athlete quota for women exceeds that of men, meaning that more women than men will compete in Los Angeles 2028!
This is made possible by all team sports having at least the same number of womenâs teams as menâs. LA28 will see the addition of a seventh womenâs Boxing weight class and two additional womenâs Water Polo teams, creating gender parity in these two sports for the first time. Additionally, the tournament size for Football (Soccer) is set at 16 womenâs teams and 12 menâs.
Weâre so excited to continue to elevate and celebrate female athletes on the global stage and canât wait for the women to BRING IT in 2028.
