For the first time since 1904, the Olympics are coming back to St. Louis!

Sort of.

The LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games announced on Tuesday that the home of St. Louis CITY SC will be one of six venues across the United States that will hold matches for the much anticipated 2028 Olympic Football (Soccer) Tournaments.

We are thrilled to be part of bringing back Olympic competition to St. Louis. Being selected as an LA28 Olympic venue is an extraordinary moment for our club and for our city,” said St. Louis CITY SC CEO Carolyn Kindle.

“Our vision was always to build a stadium worthy of hosting the world’s game at the highest level. This selection reflects our best-in-class stadium, the strength of our operations, and the passion for soccer that defines St. Louis.”

St Louis served as the host of the third Olympic Games in 1904, which coincided with the World’s Fair that year. It was the first Olympic Games held in the Western hemisphere, and set the precedent for the landmark City that St. Louis would become.
