The 59th edition of the Super Bowl is fast approaching, making history and defining a year that has left us with great stories and emotions. The Kansas City Chiefs arrive as the current two-time champions of American football with the goal of continuing to write history with Patrick Mahomes. They will face the Philadelphia Eagles again, whose only goal is to avenge their defeat two years ago and win the second championship in their history. The Super Bowl will take place this Sunday, Feb. 9, at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, home of the New Orleans Saints, starting at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time. On the other hand, Kendrick Lamar will be in charge of the halftime show at the game. Along with singer SZA, the American rapper, who has already been invited by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to perform at halftime of Super Bowl 2022, said he will try to tell a story about his artistic career: “I never thought about being at a Super Bowl. I think about all the work it took for me to get here.”
The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, are in search of a historic three-peat as NFL champions. The Philadelphia Eagles, led by star quarterback Jalen Hurts, will be looking to avenge their loss in Super Bowl 2023, when the Chiefs came back from a 10-point deficit to win 38-35. So how did they get to the final? The Eagles easily defeated the Washington Commanders in the conference finals with a lopsided 55-23 win. The Chiefs had a tougher road, defeating the Buffalo Bills in a close 32-29 win. The Eagles are the betting favorites thanks to their defensive solidity and accuracy in the passing game, while the Chiefs are looking to make history with a third straight title.
For the first time in history, a sitting President of the United States will attend the Super Bowl. Donald Trump will be at the stadium. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed that it deployed personnel to the Caesars Superdome days ago to ensure the security of the event. According to spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, “security has been heightened this year because this is the first time a sitting president will attend the event. In addition, Trump is expected to give an interview to Fox News’ Bret Baier, which will be taped from Florida before the game. However, the president has remained coy about his preference among the teams: “I don’t want to say it, but there’s a certain quarterback that seems to be a good winner,” Trump said in reference to Patrick Mahomes, quarterback of the Chiefs.
Among the celebrities attending the event, it has been confirmed that Lionel Messi will be in the stands to enjoy one of the most important sporting spectacles in the United States. Despite being focused on the 2025 season with Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer, the Argentine star will take the opportunity to witness the great American football final. The news was confirmed by Mundo NFL, the official Spanish account of the league, which caused great excitement among fans and players.
