The United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) is considering selling a stake in commercial rights for Team USA to private investors. In a recent statement, the USOPC indicated it is "evaluating a range of commercial models to generate greater resources in support of its mission."

This initiative involves the formation of a new entity named United States Olympic and Paralympic Ventures (USOPV), coinciding with the upcoming Los Angeles Summer Games in 2028 and the 2034 Winter Games in Utah.

Currently, the USOPC has a commercial partnership with the LA 2028 Organising Committee, which will conclude after the Games. According to reports from Sky News and Reuters, the organization has been in discussions regarding various investment options.

Key points from the USOPC's strategy include:

• Encouraging feedback from preliminary discussions with potential strategic partners.
• A commitment to preserving the USOPC's mission and governance while exploring new revenue opportunities.
• Continuous dialogue with athletes and national governing bodies (NGBs) throughout the process.

USOPC chief executive Sarah Hirschland stated, "Our responsibility is to look at all of our options... This is about growing the overall revenue pie for the constituencies that we serve."

While the sports world remains divided over failed investment attempts in football, Hirschland expressed confidence that the USOPC's approach focuses on the support of Team USA athletes and NGBs as the central motivation.
