Montreal is one of four cities that will host final Olympic qualifiers ahead of the 2028 Summer Games in Los Angeles, the International Olympic Committee announced Thursday.
Orlando, Tokyo and Shanghai are the other cities set to host the Olympic Q-Series, which will feature 3×3 basketball, beach volleyball, BMX freestyle, climbing, flag football and skateboarding.
Montreal will host the third stop on the circuit from June 1 to 4, 2028, just weeks before the opening ceremony of the Los Angeles Games.
All competitions will take place at a single hub at the Olympic Park.
Organizers estimate the event will cost $28 million, with $22 million projected to come from the three levels of government.
Private partners, including some already associated with the Canadian Olympic Committee, will fund the remainder.
