The Philadelphia Eagles are set to visit the White House on April 28 to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory. Despite earlier reports suggesting the team would decline the invitation following Donald Trump’s reelection, the Eagles have confirmed their attendance.

The decision, often seen as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for championship teams, was ultimately made by the organization, regardless of who is in office.
During a recent White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the conflicting reports regarding the invitation.
“I know there was a lot of fake news about an invitation that wasn’t sent or was sent,” Leavitt said. “We want to correct the record: We sent an invitation. They enthusiastically accepted, and you will see them here on April 28.”
Trump, who attended the Super Bowl while in office, is expected to participate in the ceremony. The upcoming visit marks a shift in tone from the Eagles’ previous decision to decline an invitation in 2018 during Trump’s first term.
All eyes will be on the remarks made during the visit, which could offer insight into the current relationship between the team and the administration.
