The International Olympic Committee awarded the 2028 Games to Los Angeles after a vote on Wednesday in Lima, Peru.

The 2028 Olympic Games will be the first hosted by the United States since Atlanta in 1996.

Los Angeles previously hosted the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984, joining Paris and London as the only three-time hosts.

Paris was also awarded the 2024 Olympic Games in Wednesday’s vote.
