Colorado Springs Hosts Olympic Lacrosse Qualifier | Colorado Springs News

Colorado Springs is set to stage the historic World Lacrosse Sixes Championships in October 2027 — the main Olympic qualifier for LA 2028 — as the sport returns to the Games after a long absence. Sixteen top national teams will battle it out at Weidner Field in a faster, smaller-field version of lacrosse that could shape the future of the sport. With Colorado Springs proudly dubbed “Olympic City USA,” this marks the first time the city hosts such a major Olympic qualifier, and the stakes couldn’t be higher: five Olympic spots for both men’s and women’s teams hang in the balance. This isn’t just another tournament — it’s a defining moment for lacrosse’s global rise. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
