As the grand spectacle of the 2024 Paris Olympics comes to a dazzling close, all eyes are now on Los Angeles, which is set to host the Summer Games for the first time since 1984.

Local organizers are gearing up to build new venues and renovate existing ones to ensure that athletes and spectators alike enjoy a world-class experience. With the Olympic flame soon to warm up the City of Angels, events like swimming and gymnastics are sure to take the spotlight, alongside new sports like breaking, which will make its Olympic debut!

But wait, there's more! Fans across the globe should get their wallets ready because ticket sales for the 2028 Summer Olympics could open sooner than expected. Plans are being implemented to create a ticket-buying process that is accessible and user-friendly for everyone, ensuring that even those global citizens all the way in the Philippines can grab their chance to witness history in person. So whether you’re a sports junkie or just a casual fan, now is the time to consider making that trip!
