TAMPA, OCT. 16, 2023 – The International Olympic Committee voted on Monday to include lacrosse, a sport newly added to the USF line-up of varsity teams, in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. It will be the sixth time lacrosse has been included in the Olympics, but the first time as a medal sport since the 1908 Summer Olympics in London.

"Today is a remarkable moment in the history of both lacrosse and the Olympic Games," said World Lacrosse CEO Jim Scherr. "The inclusion of lacrosse in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles is a testament to our sport's enduring legacy, worldwide popularity and unique ability to bring people together.
