Various sources are reporting David Beckham will lead a Miami Major League Soccer franchise. The official announcement will come either in December at MLS Cup or in January at the Superdraft/NSCAA Convention.

The new franchise of the former Manchester United star, and English footballer could start play anytime from 2015 to 2017.
Mr. Posh Spice. Or Mr. Victoria Adams if you will made the decision nearly six months after touring Miami and he said that the prospect of owning a MLS team in the city was exciting. And today the the Associated Press has also confirmed that David Beckham has chosen the metropolis of South Florida. His team will complement the Dolphins, Panthers, Heat and Marlins.
