David Beckham: The Entrepreneur and Visionary?

Not content with being one of the most famous footballers on the planet, David Beckham – who was often criticised for moving to the ‘backwater’ of the American Major League Soccer (MLS) has now emerged with a vision: to bring football or soccer to the sun city of Miami, Florida.

 

The ambitious plans for the city, which has a large contingent of Latin Americans (who are naturally more predisposed to football) includes an impressive 25,000 seat stadium on the waterfront. The former Real Madrid  and Manchester United star is the front man for the Miami franchise.

 

Miami is a sporting city, famous for the Miami Heat basketball team and more famously the American Football side the Miami Dolphins. Miami currently doesn’t have a football team but the sun, sea and sand of Florida could certainly be a USP for any big world star nearing the end of their careers. Beckham himself went to the bright lights of Hollywood to star for LA Galaxy. So perhaps in the near future we could see players like Wayne Rooney leaving the dreary weather of the UK to go play in Florida? Who knows. Beckham knows he faces a challenge to put everything in place long before he creates a team able to challenge for the MLS Cup.
