Infrastructure concept for LA28 from one source

The official infrastructure partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Games LA28 and Team USA has been announced. One of the world's leading infrastructure consultancies will provide relevant infrastructure support to LA28.

The 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games will be held in Los Angeles. After the venue plan for LA28 was revised last summer, several other venues were confirmed shortly afterwards. Now the official infrastructure partner for the Games has been announced.

The global infrastructure company AECOM will support the delivery of the infrastructure programme for the Games, which includes infrastructure architecture, engineering, planning, programme management and construction management.

“The Olympic and Paralympic Games unite the world through sport, and we are honored to contribute our expertise to help bring LA28’s vision to life,” said Troy Rudd, AECOM’s chairman and chief executive officer. “Just as athletes push the boundaries of performance in pursuit of excellence, our team brings deep technical expertise and relentless innovation to deliver world-class infrastructure that makes these moments possible. Building on AECOM’s legacy of delivering a better world, we are committed to championing the Olympic & Paralympic Movement and helping to build an unparalleled experience for spectators and participants at the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

AECOM has already contributed to the success of past global sporting events, including London in 2012, Rio in 2016 and Tokyo in 2021. Working closely with LA28 and key stakeholders, AECOM is supposed to help deliver LA28’s unique and innovative venue infrastructure program, which relies on temporary venues and temporary overlays on existing permanent venues. 

“Powered by our vision of uplifting LA's state-of-the-art venues, our partnership with AECOM will deliver cutting-edge temporary infrastructure, creating sports experiences unlike the world has ever seen,” said Casey Wasserman, LA28 chairperson and president. “Los Angeles is a thriving center of innovation and culture. We're excited to team up with AECOM to showcase the best of this dynamic city and drive progress within the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.”

AECOM’s role includes the architecture and engineering to deliver LA28 venues, as well as the program management of their delivery. AECOM Hunt – a subsidiary of AECOM that specialises in construction management – will oversee the procurement process, cost estimating, scheduling, and construction management of the required venue infrastructure. 

AECOM’s approach to the LA28 Games is according to their own statements driven by a powerful shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, redefining the future of the Games as LA28 sets a new standard for how they are hosted. This partnership builds on AECOM’s decade of dedicated support for LA28 starting with its technical and design support for the LA 2024/LA28 Exploratory Committee. It also provided critical services, including design, cost estimation, and sustainability and energy consulting. (stadiaworld, 18.03.2025)
