MIAMI (April 3, 2017) -- The FIU Athletic Department and Riccardo Silva have announced the naming of FIU Stadium, which will now be called "Riccardo Silva Stadium." The decision to name the stadium is in recognition of the support given by Riccardo Silva to the FIU Athletic Department since 2015.
Riccardo Silva is the owner of Silva International Investments and co-owner of Miami FC, which made its debut in the 2016 season of the North American Soccer League (NASL). The Miami FC will play all of its home games at Riccardo Silva Stadium.
"FIU has been an amazing partner since we began working together with Miami FC," said Silva.
