Exciting news 2028 Olympic 👏👍👏👍
We can officially call Orlando an Olympic city!
Today the International Olympic Committee announced that Orlando will join Tokyo, Shanghai and Montreal as hosts for the Olympic Q-Series before the LA28 Olympic Games.
The event in our community in June 2028 will bring athletes from around the world to Orlando, where they will compete to qualify for spots in the Olympics in a festival atmosphere at Camping World Stadium. The sports that will be featured along the four-stop series are 3x3 basketball, beach volleyball, BMX freestyle, climbing, flag football and skateboarding.
Events like this help bring even more visitors from around the globe to our region and allow us to showcase our community's vibrancy to the rest of the world.
Over the last several years, Orlando has developed into the nation's premier sports event destination, with the ability to host nearly any kind of event. Prior to the 2024 Olympics in Paris, our city played a key role by hosting the U.S. Olympic Team Trials Marathon. I will always remember residents and visitors packing the streets in and around downtown to cheer on our nation's top long-distance runners as they raced for Olympic spots. In two years, I'm certain that the energy and excitement will return for the Olympic Q-Series.
