New York City FC Announces Etihad Park as Name of First Soccer-Specific Stadium

The $780 million privately funded Queens stadium, set to open in 2027, will be the first fully electric sports venue in NYC and MLS.

Etihad Airways secured 20-year naming rights for New York City FC's new stadium, continuing a decade-long partnership with the club.
The 25,000-seat stadium in Willets Point, Queens, will serve as a multi-use venue for soccer games, concerts, and festivals.
The stadium is part of a 23-acre redevelopment project that includes 2,500 affordable housing units, a 650-seat public school, and a hotel.
Etihad Park will be NYCFC's first permanent home after years of splitting games between Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, and other venues.
As the first fully electric stadium in NYC and Major League Soccer, it highlights a commitment to sustainability and community engagement.
