President Trump is expected to attend Saturday's annual Army-Navy football game, his first time doing so as president.

 

The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that Trump will be in attendance for the game, which is being played in Philadelphia. Trump attended the matchup in 2016 following his Election Day victory but did not go last year.

 

The AP reported that Trump will be the 10th sitting president to attend the annual game. Former President Obama was present for the 2011 competition.

 

The president typically spends one half of the game sitting with one service academy before switching sides at halftime.

 

This year marks the 119th football game between the two service academies. Saturday's game is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field.

 

During a brief appearance in the broadcast booth during the 2016 game, Trump said he wasn't sure if it was "the best football," but praised both teams for their "spirit."
