The Philadelphia Eagles have formally accepted an invitation from President Donald Trump to celebrate their recent Super Bowl victory at the White House.
A team spokesperson and White House official each confirmed the news to USA TODAY Sports on Tuesday morning and said the two sides are currently working on scheduling a date for the trip and ironing out the logistics. The Eagles trounced the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, to win Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans last month.
"We sent the invite and they enthusiastically accepted," the White House official wrote in an email.
The invitation -- and the Eagles' decision to accept it -- had been expected over the past few weeks, as both sides had publicly indicated their willingness to move forward with the ceremonial White House visit. The team signaled on Feb. 24 that it would accept an invitation from Trump, if it received one. And Trump said the next day that "absolutely they'll be extended that invitation."
