The veteran city lawmaker will serve as the primary liaison between Mayor Karen Bass’ office and LA28, the group organizing and paying for the Games.
Paul Krekorian, who is leaving the Los Angeles City Council due to term limits, will oversee the city's handling of the 2026 World Cup, the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and other large events. Mayor Karen Bass tapped Krekorian, who leaves office on Sunday and previously served as council president, to be executive director of the city's Office of Major Events.
'When we met with officials from Paris, they stressed the importance of pulling the entire city together to make sure all city departments were aligned and operating under the same vision,' Bass said in a statement, adding that 'Krekorian is uniquely positioned' to lead that effort. Bass pointed to Krekorian's decades of experience handling city and state finances.
