Queens Park Rangers' Loftus Road stadium is set to be renamed The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium from the beginning of the 2019-20 season.

Kiyan Prince was a promising member of QPR's youth academy, who was tragically stabbed to death in May 2006 when he was 15 years old after attempting split up a fight outside his school. His father Mark set up the Kiyan Prince Foundation to educate young people about the consequences of knife crime.

It's an incredible and important gesture from QPR, who renamed the stadium following a vote from supporters after receiving 63% of votes in a poll.

"I can't tell you what this means to Kiyan's mum, to me, his brothers and sisters, his friends and people who have been supporting the work we have been doing," said Mark Prince.

"Kiyan was a very special young man. We hear many stories about his kindness and good nature so to have the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium at a place where his skills were honed is a dream come true. This gives us so many opportunities and we have to make sure we capitalise on them."
