In an unprecedented international request, U.S. President Joe Biden has reportedly asked Leicester City Football Club to vacate their home ground, King Power Stadium, to host a major global event. The request comes with a substantial compensation offer of $50 million to ease the disruption during the Premier League season.
While the specifics of the event remain unclear, rumors suggest it could be a large-scale diplomatic summit or cultural festival involving international leaders. Leicester City’s management is currently reviewing the offer and weighing its options.
A club spokesperson confirmed that discussions are ongoing but reassured fans that the Foxes are committed to minimizing any interruptions to their season. “We understand the significance of King Power Stadium for our supporters and the team. We are carefully considering the implications before making any decisions.”
The proposed plan has sparked significant reaction across Leicester, with fans concerned about the potential impact on the club’s upcoming fixtures and home-field advantage. The $50 million offer, though generous, has not fully quelled worries about how long King Power Stadium might be unavailable.
As the Premier League season unfolds, supporters will be closely watching how Leicester City handles this surprising offer from the U.S. President. For now, the Foxes remain in negotiations, leaving many to wonder if they’ll soon find themselves temporarily displaced.
