Etihad Park, a new soccer-specific stadium under construction in Willets Point, Queens, has been selected as a host venue for the 2028 Summer Olympic soccer tournaments. The 25,000-seater stadium will host nine games total: eight men's and women's group stage matches across three dates in July, and one men's quarterfinal match on July 20. Etihad Park is one of seven venues nationwide hosting Olympic soccer, alongside Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, San José, San Diego, and Pasadena. San Diego will host semifinal and bronze medal matches, while the gold medal matches conclude on July 28-29 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The extended competition window allows teams additional rest days throughout the tournaments.
