The 2020 MLS season saw the premiere of Inter Miami, David Beckham's franchise. During their debut year, they managed to qualify for the Play-In of the Playoffs of the competition, something to highlight despite their inexperience in the tournament. And for 2021, where they also aspire to be protagonists, Beckahm made a drastic decision that surprised absolutely everyone.

While it must not be anything good from the club's office, because the MLS announced that it opened an investigation regarding the signing of Blaise Matuidi, which, apparently, led to a series of irregularities, it came to light that now, the star of the football and former Real Madrid will get involved in the world of cinema. Yes as he read: on the big screen. In what way? It will produce a series for Disney+ totally related to the field of sports, specifically football.

What will the series be about? David Beckham's production for Disney Plus will feature underprivileged but talented youngsters on a soccer field, who will play for a London club. In addition, the British will also act as the group's motivational coach. The casting was carried out in the Hackney Marshes neighborhood, very close to the sector where the current owner of Inter Miami grew up.

A source close to the former footballer mentioned that Beckham “was very interested in the idea because he really reflects his own experience when he was growing up. In addition, he remains very committed to the new talents of football ”. The series will begin shooting in the summer of 2021 and would be premiering in the first months of 2022.

Although the figure hasn't been released, it has been classified as "astronomical". Disney wanted to have Beckham because he grew up in a poor neighborhood and achieved everything based on effort, so he will be its producer. “Disney felt that David would be an ideal mentor for the group. He came out of nowhere and ended up becoming one of the best footballers and most famous people in the world. He will be in charge of helping and inspiring these young people on their individual journeys”.
