The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics will feature an increase in women's soccer teams from 12 to 16, while the men's competition will be downsized from 16 to a dozen teams, the International Olympic Committee said on Wednesday.

Female athletes will be in the majority at an Olympics for the first time at the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Games thanks to a big win for women's soccer, which will now feature 16 teams.

The IOC is expanding the Olympic women's soccer and 3X3 basketball tournaments in 2028 while adding several new events in swimming and more.
