Donald Trump has again said he'd pressure Fifa to remove 2026 World Cup games from a host city on the basis of that city's politics, with Boston becoming the third such city to come in for threats from the US president. Trump also said he would consider similar action against Los Angeles for the 2028 Olympics on account of potential safety issues.
MIES, Switzerland -- Basketball at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will start two days before the opening ceremony for those Games, organizers confirmed Wednesday. FIBA, the sport's global governing body, said that it has reviewed a revised basketball schedule for Los Angeles and that games will begin on July 12, 2028 -- ahead of the July 14 opening ceremony. It is unclear if the men's tournament, the women's tournament or both will start before the official opening.
