The San Francisco 49ers will face the Kansas City Chiefs in this year's Super Bowl. The final game of the NFL season will be a real duel of head coaching giants. Andy Reid (65/Chiefs) and Kyle Shanahan (43/49ers) already faced each other in the Super Bowl 2020. Four years ago, the Chiefs beat San Francisco 31:20.

The San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers were founded in 1946 in San Francisco, Northern California. The team owes its name to the age of the gold rush in 1849. The golden helmets and jerseys of today's San Francisco 49ers are also based on this real gold rush in California.

Kyle Shanahan has been the 49ers head coach since 2017. With him, the team reached the Super Bowl in 2020. This year's successful team is led by quarterback Brock Purdy (24). The young playmaker confidently led the 49ers through the playoffs and is now facing the biggest game of his young NFL career in the 2024 Super Bowl.

San Francisco's Road to the Super Bowl
