U.S. President Donald Trump was the first sitting U.S. president to watch the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl, the 59th NFL final between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, was held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on the 9th (local time).

Before the game, President Trump said he would watch the Super Bowl thinking `good things' for the soul of the nation, `American football is the most popular sport in the United States, and there are good reasons for it. American football brings family, friends and fans together and strengthens the community to foster a sense of national solidarity."

When asked about the prediction of a Super Bowl winner, which is customary, the Kansas City Chiefs, last year's champion, said they would win again by beating the Philadelphia Eagles. Brittney, wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Murhomes, is known to be an avid supporter of President Trump.




President Trump, who attended with his second son Eric Trump, daughter-in-law Lara, eldest daughter Ivanka and Ivanka's son, stood up and saluted during the national anthem. Before the start of the game, he met with victims and paramedics in the end zone (scoring area) of the stadium during the car attack in New Orleans on January 1, comforting and encouraging them, and offering condolences to the victims. However, as the second half of the game began, he started for Washington DC.

The result of the game was the Philadelphia Eagles' 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs and the first Vince Lombardi Trophy in seven years.

Kansas City, which has advanced to the Super Bowl five times in the last six years and tried to win its first three consecutive championships, failed to make a milestone due to Philadelphia's `sick defense' that tied the strongest quarterback Patrick Murhomes.




Philadelphia, which led Kansas City 27-21 through the third quarter of the 2023 Super Bowl and then suffered a 35-38 upset loss to swallow its tears, succeeded in avenging it. Philadelphia quarterback Hurts, who made 17 of his 21 passes and recorded 221 passing yards and 72 rushing yards, the longest in a Super Bowl history, was named the MVP of the Super Bowl.

Meanwhile, Jill Biden, a big Philadelphia fan, also visited the stadium with her grandchildren to watch the game, but former President Biden did not appear.
