USC will host the Media Village as part of the Los Angeles 2024 Olympic bid, while UCLA will serve as the Olympic Village for the athletes and team officials. The plan to use existing world class facilities is part of LA 2024's pledge to reduce the costs and risks of hosting the Games, aligning closely with the International Olympic Committee's Olympic Agenda 2020 reforms that encourage cities to host sustainable and fiscally responsible Games.

USC President C. L. Max Nikias said: "USC takes great pride in its Olympic heritage, and there is tremendous excitement across the entire university community about our role in Los Angeles' 2024 Olympic bid. Just as we did in 1984, USC will play host to a number of high profile sporting events at our state-of-the-art athletic facilities. In addition, we look forward to housing thousands of international reporters, officials and Games supporters on our University Park Campus. The opportunity to bring the Games to Los Angeles is not just important for our city, but for our nation, and I am confident that the world-class infrastructure - both at USC and at UCLA - Â will greatly strengthen the credentials of our bid."Â
