Columbus is one of seven U.S. cities selected to host Olympic soccer matches, joining New York, Nashville, St. Louis, San José and San Diego. The sites were chosen from existing stadiums, many of them purpose-built for soccer, allowing LA28 organizers to stage a national tournament without constructing new permanent facilities.

New York City, Columbus, Ohio, Nashville, Tennessee, St. Louis, Missouri, San Diego and San Jose, California were named as the cities hosting soccer matches for the Olympics. Six cities have been announced as the locations for soccer at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
