David Beckham’s team Inter Miami CF make their MLS bow against LA FC

David Beckham is supported by wife Victoria, son Brooklyn and his girlfriend Nicola Peltz as his team Inter Miami CF make their MLS bow against LA FC

David Beckham was in good company as he witnessed his team Inter Miami CF mark their first match in the Major League Soccer (MLS) on Sunday, when they went up against Los Angeles FC.

The football president, 44, was joined by his supportive wife Victoria, 45, his eldest son Brooklyn, 20, and his girlfriend Nicola Peltz, 25, as they watched the game unfold from the crowd at the Banc of California Stadium.

The former Manchester United midfielder has seen six years pass since officially announcing he would exercise an agreement written into the contract signed in 2007 following his move from Real Madrid to LA Galaxy that, for just $25million (£19.5m), an MLS franchise could be his.

The project was almost doomed to failure with the inability to find a suitable stadium site almost killing the dream before it began.

Thankfully, with the introduction into the ownership group of local construction magnates the Mas brothers, all the political red-tape has been navigated. Well, for now at least.
