Being a father himself, Beckham wants his daughter to feel inspired watching their own women’s team.
“I’ve always talked — and me, Jorge and Jose have always talked — about having a women’s team within the club (at Inter Miami),” Beckham reveals. “It’s something we’ve spoken about from day one, actually. To bring a women’s team into our club would be something we are definitely going to do. Having a daughter of my own, I want her to be inspired by something every single day.”
While Inter Miami has done a great job when it comes to their deals, expansions, and signings, the team still has to deliver when it comes to the pitch. Currently languishing at the bottom of the points table, David Beckham will hope that Lionel Messi’s arrival can reverse the fortunes of his team.

Argentine talisman Lionel Messi has set the stage on fire with his arrival on US soil. The former Barcelona superstar looks as good as ever and shows signs of stopping. Messi shined on his debut against Cruz Azul netting in a freekick from just outside the box in the 94th minute to send the DNV PNK Stadium into a frenzy.
