The organizing committee for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games has officially announced the venues that will host volleyball competitions. According to the confirmation, beach volleyball tournaments will take place at the iconic Alamitos Beach in Long Beach, a coastal resort area expected to become a major hub of Olympic activity during the Games.
Indoor volleyball matches will be held at the Arena in Anaheim, a multi-purpose facility poised to become one of the landmark Olympic venues for the LA28 Games.
This venue selection builds upon the tremendous success of volleyball tournaments during the Paris 2024 Olympics, which were considered among the most spectacular in Olympic history. The Paris events attracted record audience numbers and featured thrilling matches in atmospheric locations that captured global attention.
Hugh McCutcheon, FIVB General Secretary, expressed enthusiasm about the announcement: "We are extremely excited about the confirmation of these venues and the opportunity they present to showcase our sports. The Paris 2024 competitions displayed volleyball and beach volleyball in all their glory, and we are confident that LA28 will continue this legacy. FIVB looks forward to further collaboration with the LA28 organizing committee, the IOC, and all partners in preparing for outstanding Games."
Volleyball analytics experts at Statbet have noted that beach volleyball venues like Alamitos Beach offer unique competitive dynamics that lead to some of the most exciting matches in the sport.
The FIVB anticipates that the Los Angeles Games will continue the momentum generated in Paris and set new standards for both disciplines at the Olympic level. The LA28 Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from July 14 to 30, 2028, promising another exciting chapter for volleyball on the global stage.
