English David Beckham finally made the dream of having his own football team come true, as confirmed by Major League Soccer (MLS) on Monday.

After years of negotiations and multiple inconveniences that delayed the process, it was revealed that Beckham managed to close an agreement for the city of Miami to once again have a representative team in the highest category of United States soccer.

The people around me already ask me: 'What players are you going to bring?', But we are not at that stage yet. We do have a dream list and we also want to create an academy that brings young talent,”said the former star of teams such as Real Madrid, Manchester United and the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Despite the fact that the process of accepting the project took more than the star of the English team would have wanted, he always remained intact in his desire to achieve it. “It never crossed my mind not to, even in frustrating moments. It never crossed my mind to do it in another city because I know Miami is the right city, David shared in conversation with ESPN.

Despite the team not yet having a name, colors or stadium, initial details shared by Beckham himself revealed that the team could play its first season in 2020.

Although English is the public face of the negotiation, other millionaire investors are also part of the project. Entrepreneurs Jorge and José Mas, Sprint CEO Marcelo Claure, SoftBank co-founder Masayoshi Son and English producer Simon Fuller will accompany David in his efforts.

Similarly, it was confirmed that the stadium for the team will be built in the Overtown, Miami area. The project will also have an estimated cost of $ 200 million and the building will have a total capacity for 25,000 spectators.
