The Washington Commanders are building a new football stadium . President Donald Trump is putting in a request to the team, as it gets ready to complete work on the project.

“President Donald Trump wants the Washington Commanders to name their planned $3.7 billion stadium after him, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN,” reporter Adam Schefter reported on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.

The Commanders are building a new stadium on the site of the old RFK stadium. That site served as the team's home from 1961-1996. Washington D.C. approved of the project in the last few months.

Trump is an avid NFL fan, who used to frequently attend games before his presidency. He was also involved in trying to buy a professional NFL football team before entering politics.
