A Nobel winner at the Linc

Malala Yousafzai turned up in the stands at Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles season opener against the Washington Commanders.

The jumbotron gave her away

Cameras caught her during the game and put her on the big screen. Social media reacted with surprise that she was there at all.

She made it official

Rather than let the speculation run, she quote-tweeted the jumbotron image of herself with two words.

“GO BIRDS”

Sports fan, new team

The youngest Nobel laureate in history has called herself a big sports fan for years. Philadelphia football is the recent addition.

It started last October

She came to Philadelphia on tour for her memoir "Finding My Way." That trip is where the Eagles thing began.

Kylie Kelce recruited her

At the tour stop, Kylie Kelce talked Malala into saying "go Birds" and leading an Eagles chant with the crowd.

She posted the proof

Malala shared video of the chant on her Instagram Story, plus a backstage photo hugging Kylie Kelce with Jason Kelce grinning at the edge of the frame.

Kelce called her shot

On her podcast, Kelce said she spent the backstage time working on one goal: getting Malala to an actual game.

“I feel like she's a shoo-in to be cheering on the Birds with us.”

The Popeye's photo dump

Less than two months later, the fifth image in an Instagram carousel showed her at a table with fried chicken and a headscarf half covering an Eagles tee.

Next stop, the celebrity box

With the fandom out in the open, don't be shocked to see her seated near Bradley Cooper and Quinta Brunson before the season ends.
