The Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in the NFL’s first regular-season game in France, following a buildup marked by protests and security concerns in Paris.

The game went ahead at the Stade de France despite President Donald Trump urging the NFL to postpone it. A day earlier, the league closed its “NFL House” fan zone because of intense street protests, according to The Hill. Police clashed with demonstrators across France on Saturday, while the U.S. State Department advised thousands of visiting Americans to remain cautious amid recent rioting and violence, CBS News reported.

The Washington Post reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff had tried to block U.S. troops from participating in the Paris game.

Inside the stadium Sunday, the atmosphere was festive, France 24 reported, with halftime entertainment that included a rap performance. The contest capped the NFL’s first regular-season event in the country, with Pittsburgh emerging as the winner.
