Etihad Park, NYCFC's new soccer-specific stadium next to Citi Field at Willets Point in Queens, is scheduled to open next year and was named a host venue for the 2028 Olympic soccer tournaments. The 25,000-seat stadium will host group-stage and knockout matches for both men's and women's competitions before the gold-medal matches on July 28-29 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Other U.S. host sites include Columbus, Nashville, St. Louis, San Jose, and San Diego, with match assignments and schedules to be released in April. The 2026 MLS season will be NYCFC's final year at Yankee Stadium. The women's Olympic tournament will include 16 teams; the men's tournament will be under-23 with three overage players allowed, and the United States qualified automatically as host.
