Los Angeles 2028 is set to feature more female athletes than male in a landmark moment for the Olympic Games.
A total of 10,500 athletes will compete across 31 sports in the initial programme - the same as Paris 2024.
With gender equality a key consideration, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Wednesday an approved quota of 5,333 places for women and 5,167 for men.
Across the five new sports proposed by the LA28 organising committee and supported by the IOC - baseball/softball, T20 cricket, flag football, lacrosse and squash - there will be a further 322 places for female athletes and 376 for male competitors.
For the first time in Olympic history, all team sports will have at least the same number of women's teams as men's teams.
Two female teams have been added to the water polo programme, making it 12 for each gender, while an additional women's weight category ensures gender parity in boxing.
Meanwhile, the women's football competition will increase from 12 to 16 teams, with the men's tournament reducing from 16 to 12.
Speaking following a meeting of the governing body's executive board in Lausanne, Switzerland, IOC sports director Kit McConnell said: "This programme really gives a powerful platform and promotion of female athletes for the first time in Olympic history.
"There will be more quota places available for qualification for women than for men, reaching full gender equality in boxing and water polo, to add to all of the other sports we've achieved gender equality in in Paris."
The 2028 event is scheduled to take place from 14-30 July.
