Donald Trump It is said that on Monday afternoon it announces that Washington DC was chosen as the host city for the NFL design of 2027.
According to AxiosThe president will unveil the American capital as hosts alongside NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and the owner of the commanders Josh Harris on the White house.
The plan is that the design will be held in the iconic National Mall of Washington in two years.
Trump has planned a non-specific sports-related announcement before 1 p.m. and, according to his Monday schedule, released by the White House.
Although it is the capital of the nation, Washington did not organize the NFL design for 84 years, with New York and Philadelphia dominating from 1944 until the first only hosts became in 1965.
It took 50 years for the NFL to hand over that long -term tradition by Chicago to hand over the 2015 and 2016 events, but since then the competition has chosen a new host every year.

This year’s NFL version, which took place last week, was held in Green Bay, while the showpiece 2026 is being performed in Pittsburgh.
Washington was selected as design hosts, just a few days after the commanders and DC officials have announced a plan to bring the team back to the city with a new arena on the site of the old RFK stadium.
At the end of April, Harris and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that they are going back to the site they occupied from 1961 to 1996.
RFK Stadium is currently on the site on the banks of the River Anacostia in the eastern part of the city. The building has been busy with a long -term demolition that has been delayed several times.
The building was closed in September 2019, but the structural demolition only started this year.
The announcement by Harris and Bowser came up with ripening of what the new stadium could look like – including a clear facade on the west that offers a view of East Capitol Street Ne to the US Capitol Building and the Washington Monument.
The planned construction will see a roof added on the building, making it a possible location for a super bowl.

The estimated costs for the stadium float around $ 4 billion. If it stays on that price tag, it would have been built on the second most expensive stadium – behind Sofi Stadium in Los Angeles.
The construction of this stadium is awaiting the final approval of the DC city council, but it is expected that a deal will be reached.
Under their former name, the commanders moved to the then mentioned DC Stadium after spending more than two decades in the now demolished Griffith Stadium.
After 35 years in RFK Stadium, the team moved to the suburb of Landover, Maryland and the then mentioned Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.
