The Philadelphia Eagles will be heading to the White House at the invitation of President Donald Trump to celebrate their Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last month. 

"We sent the invite and they enthusiastically accepted. We are working with them to determine a date and logistics," a White House official told Fox News Digital. 

A team spokesperson also confirmed to Fox News Digital that "the Philadelphia Eagles organization has accepted an invitation to visit the White House and is currently working on scheduling a date and logistics."

There were questions about whether the Eagles would accept an invitation after not doing so in 2018, but Trump told The Spectator late last month that the team would be visiting this time around. 

"They’re coming here. Philadelphia is coming here," Trump told the outlet. 

Trump also announced the invite to the team last month.

"They will be [invited]. We haven't yet, but we will be," said Trump, who was in the Caesars Superdome to watch the Eagles beat the Chiefs, 40-22. "I thought it was a great performance by them. Absolutely, they'll be extended an invitation. We'll do it right away. We'll do it some time today. They deserve to be down here, and we hope to see them."

Eagles captain Lane Johnson said a White House visit would be a "team decision"
