President Trump suggested that the new Abu Dhabi-funded soccer stadium in Queens, set to be completed for the 2027 MLS season, could be utilized for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The 25,000-seat stadium, named Etihad Park, will be New York City's first soccer-specific venue and was approved by city officials as part of the Willets Point Redevelopment project. Trump's comments reflect not only his connection to Queens but also highlight the potential for leveraging upcoming global sporting events.
I grew up in Queens, the president said. I know the area very well. Oh that's great. Wow. That's where they used to fix the cars.
Because it's prime you know for some of the games, Trump replied. We have the World Cup coming, and we have the Olympics coming over the next couple of years.
