Becks in Miami?

Former England captain David Beckham has decided to start a Major League Soccer team in Miami. Since retiring in May, Beckham has been mulling over the location for his MLS franchise. Beckham said he would pay a discounted rate of US$25 million to start an MLS expansion team in Miami. There are currently 19 MLS teams, and league commissioner Don Garber hopes to expand to 24 teams by the 2020 season. The MLS still hasn’t approved Miami as a franchise location. Beckham is looking to raise several hundred million dollars to fund the setup costs, including putting together a squad of players and building a stadium.
