    Former president Donald Trump is taking a break from the campaign trail to take in a football game.

    Trump, the current Republican presidential nominee, is expected to attend the Pittsburgh Steelers ' "Sunday Night Football" matchup against the New York Jets at Acrisure Stadium in Pennsylvania, a key swing state in the upcoming presidential election .

    "With former President Trump expected to attend Sunday night’s game as a guest of an individual suite holder, we are working with Secret Service and local authorities to ensure the safety and security of all our fans," Steelers spokesperson Burt Lauten said in a statement shared to social media on Saturday.

    Trump held a rally on Saturday night for steel workers in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a small city about an hour outside of Pittsburgh. During the rally —  held at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, named in honor of late golfer — Trump made off-color remarks about Palmer's masculinity and anatomy.

    Trump, the 45th President of the United States, frequently attends sporting events. He's attended the annual Army-Navy game , a College Football Playoff national championship game and even the World Series . He recently attended the Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR race and is frequently spotted at UFC events .

    Last month, President Trump attended a college football game between Alabama and Georgia.
