Columbus is set to host nine Olympic soccer matches in 2028, including a quarterfinal game, over a 10-day period.
The event is expected to bring at least $175 million in direct visitor spend, according to Mary Shepro, president of business operations for the Columbus Crew.
She said the number of games Columbus will host, announced Monday by the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, was a pleasant surprise.
