After weeks of anticipation, David Beckham has officially announced the creation of a new franchise in the MLS (Major League Soccer) on Thursday. “This is an exciting time for me and my family. We are eager to get started here. The world’s most popular sport is coming to the hottest city. I have worked very hard in my career, and I am going to work just as hard for Miami,” declared the former PSG player.
Beckham also revealed that the new team will have its own state-of-the-art stadium, specially constructed for this occasion. With confidence in his project’s success, the Englishman expressed his determination to make the Miami franchise thrive.
Don Garber, MLS commissioner, echoed Beckham’s enthusiasm, emphasizing his significance for both the USA and MLS. He also highlighted the league’s expansion plans, including the addition of eight new teams and nine new stadiums by 2017. Beckham’s choice to invest in Miami reflects his belief in the city’s potential as a hub for soccer in the United States.
