Establishment and History

They have been around for a long time, too. This NFL team was formed in 1932, and its name has changed several times since then.

Before they moved to Washington, D.C. and changed their name to the Washington Redskins, they were called the Boston Braves and then the Boston Redskins.

But in 2020, the name “Redskins” was officially taken off the team, and it became the Washington Football Team. In 2021, they told everyone that their new name would be the Washington Commanders.

Home Stadium

FedExField, which is in Landover, Maryland, is where the Washington Commanders play their home games. The stadium can hold more than 82,000 people and is known for being loud on game days.

Notable Players

In the history of the Washington Commanders, they have had a lot of great players. The quarterback Joe Theismann, wide receiver Art Monk, running back John Riggins, and defensive end Dexter Manley are some of the best players.
