QPR Confirm Loftus Road Will Be Renamed The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium

Queen's Park Rangers have announced that Loftus Road will be renamed 'The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium', in a classy tribute to the academy player who was fatally stabbed when he was just 15 back in 2006.

The club confirmed the news in an official statement, which explained that the unveiling of this new name would occur when the Rs play their first competitive fixture of the 2019/20 campaign.

The tribute came about after fans were invited to nominate local charities for the chance to win naming rights for the stadium. Once the shortlist was whittled down to five contestants, the Kiyan Prince Foundation won out with a whopping 63% of the share.
