Archery will take place in the LA Stadium and Entertainment District at Hollywood Park, which is being constructed for National Football League (NFL) franchise the LA Rams following its move from St Louis. The US$1.9bn (£1.5bn, €1.8bn) stadium has been designed by HKS.
Modern pentathlon will take place in the city’s South Bay Sports Park and StubHub Center. Rugby, tennis, field hockey and track cycling will also take place in the former.
