Trump will be the 10th sitting president to attend the annual game, according to The Associated Press, which first reported the president's travel plans. 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."
