<h5>Where will the 2028 Olympics take place?</h5><p>The 2028 Olympics will be held in Los Angeles, USA. Good news for cricket fans: cricket will be part of the 2028 Olympics. Cricket was played at the Paris Olympics in 1900. Only two teams played then, Great Britain and France. Great Britain had won that match.</p><p>But after that, cricket was not included in the Olympics. The LA28 Organising Committee suggested cricket, along with four other sports (baseball/softball, flag football, lacrosse, and squash) for inclusion. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) agreed to it during the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai.</p><p>Host cities can suggest more sports to play during the Olympics they host.</p><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/cricket-to-be-included-in-the-2028-olympics%2FLA28.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=1718da55-86b4-417a-b19b-a74ce1b7a6d3&amp;_gl=1*xklwgp*_ga*MTIzNjQ0ODg2NS4xNjgzNzk5MjMy*_ga_CW55HF8NVT*MTY5NzUzMzYzNS4yNTMuMS4xNjk3NTM0NTM4LjUxLjAuMA.."><figcaption>The five games included in the 2028 Olympics - (from left to right) baseball/softball, lacrosse, cricket, squash, and flag football.
