The 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics will mark a historic milestone with a majority of female athletes participating, thanks to expanded women's soccer and gender-equal events. With 50.7% female athletes included, new sports and team expansions promote parity, reflecting the IOC's commitment to equality in sports.

For the first time ever, the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics will feature more female athletes than male participants, thanks to transformative changes in women's sports.
