David Beckham announced his Miami franchise last year

Speaking to reporters at Lockhart Stadium, Beckham said: ‘This is an exciting day because I’ve said from day one, and that was a long time ago, that it’s all about the academy and the kids in this great city.‘It’s a visionary idea, it’s the perfect location and it’s one we feel will give kids a chance to live their dreams. This won’t just be for those who play for Inter Miami but also for kids who just want to enjoy this great game and play a safe sport in a safe place.’ Asked if he was aware that players such as Johan Cruyff and Pele had played at the venue during the North American Soccer League era, Beckham said: ‘There is a lot of history here and we’re not going to forget that, but we want to create new memories and build a great future.’
