Overview

  • LA28 and the IOC have collaborated to break Olympic tradition by selling naming rights for competition venues for the first time.
  • Rights for up to 19 existing sites will be offered, with priority access granted to top IOC and LA28 sponsors.
  • Organizers intend to use the revenue to fully fund the Games privately and avoid any new venue construction.
  • Honda has secured naming rights for the Anaheim volleyball arena while Comcast has signed on for the temporary squash venue.
  • The move overturns the longstanding ban on branded venue names and could amplify corporate presence at Olympic competitions.
