U.S. President Donald Trump will reportedly attend the Army vs. Navy game this Saturday in Landover, Maryland.
Per a report from Meredith McGraw of POLITICO, Donald Trump will attend the 2024 edition of the annual football game between the Midshipmen and the Black Knights. The 78-year-old has attended the game four times, including three during his first tenure in office, McGraw noted.
The first game between the two historic football programs took place in 1890, with Navy posting a 24-0 shutout victory. Though the matchup has traditionally taken place in Philadelphia, this year’s showdown will be held at the Washington Commanders’ home venue of Northwest Stadium.
The Army-Navy Game uniforms are extremely important to the game’s history.
