DC United in Audi Naming Rights Agreement

Major League Soccer (MLS) side DC United have announced Audi as the naming rights sponsor of their new stadium, due to open in 2018.

The 20,000-seater ground will be known as Audi Field, in a deal that will reportedly run for at least a decade. The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but the agreement is thought to be one of the most lucrative in MLS history.

Audi Field will be part of a $350m project which also includes substantial residential and retail space.

Audi is currently serving as the official automotive partner to the MLS.
