US President Donald Trump is reportedly interested in having the new Washington Commanders stadium named after him, according to an ESPN report published this Saturday. The ambitious project, valued at $3.7 billion, is being built on the site of the former Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium, which housed the Washington Nationals team—then known as the Redskins—between 1961 and 1996. According to the report, Trump has been directly involved in the negotiations related to the land, as it belongs to the federal government. The new stadium is scheduled to open in 2030, and several sources say the president considers it essential that his name be associated with the project. “It would be a beautiful name, since it was President Trump who made the reconstruction of the new stadium possible,” said Karoline Leavitt, White House spokeswoman. A senior official quoted by the same outlet added: “It’s what the president wants, and it will probably happen.” A project with political and economic implications. Beyond its sporting aspect, the stadium represents a meeting point of political, economic, and symbolic interests. The District of Columbia—currently controlled by the Democratic Party—is contributing $1 billion to the total budget, so it will also have a say in the name selection. In addition, the National Park Service, which owns the land, must approve any changes or official naming. It's worth noting that by the time of its inauguration in 2030, the federal administration could be under a new government, as Trump's current term ends in 2028. This factor could decisively influence whether the stadium adopts the president's name or if a corporate sponsorship is chosen, as is the case with most sports venues in the United States. Despite this, sources cited by ESPN maintain that Trump remains firm in his desire to see his surname on the facade of the new stadium.arguing that his administration facilitated the necessary permits and agreements for the reconstruction. The president is expected to attend Sunday's game between the Commanders and the Detroit Lions, invited by team owner Josh Harris. According to the report, the stadium issue could be addressed during the game, marking another step in the president's attempt to link his political legacy to professional football.
