SPLASH NEWS

David Beckham’s MLS franchise stadium plans have been revealed

DAVID BECKHAM has revealed stadium plans for his new MLS

 franchise in Miami.

The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend is hoping 

to unleash the club on the top flight of American ‘soccer’ by 2021.

And Beckham has now unveiled a rendering of a brand 

new 25,000-seater arena which is sure to get local residents talking.

It will be privately funded and is set to create 50 permanent jobs 

for those living in the neighbourhood.

The stadium is based in the Overtown neighbourhood, just northwest 

of Downtown Miami, but will not include any parking areas.

Beckham hopes to acquire space elsewhere and provide a 

shuttle service for fans, allaying local fears over traffic.

The 42-year-old’s plans have been in the works for three years

 after he agreed to pay just £19million to create the club.

Beckham wants to transport fans to the venue using a shuttle service

12 other US cities are currently bidding to create their own franchises, 

with just four to be given permission by the MLS.

However, they will have to pay £115m for the privilege – significantly

 more than Beckham’s fee.
