David Beckham, a soccer great, has thought back on his accomplishments both on and off the field.
Beckham recently discussed his humanitarian endeavors and prosperous career as an athlete and businessman in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
As one of the most well-known soccer players in the world, David Beckham is praised for his remarkable career and important accomplishments both on and off the field.
Manchester United’s “Class of ’92,” a group of young players who advanced through the club’s youth academy to reach unparalleled success, included the amazing free-kick specialist— Beckham.
In addition, he played for some of the best clubs in the world, led the England national team from 2000 to 2006, and became the first English soccer player to win national league titles in four separate nations.
Becham revealed the secret to his success in life during the interview, stating:
“The reason I’ve been successful is because of teams that I’ve been part of. I was lucky to play for great teams with great managers and great players”.
Beckham has a long history of supporting humanitarian causes and initiatives worldwide, notably UNICEF, for whom he has been a Goodwill Ambassador for 20 years.
In January of this year, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he received a Crystal Award for his efforts.
As he reflected on his numerous humanitarian missions to other nations, Beckham also mentioned gender injustice.
“Girls were being affected and were treated differently, and I wanted to be part of empowering these young girls… they just needed to be given the opportunity. They need to be treated the same,” Beckham said.
Since retiring in 2013, Beckham has continued to work with renowned brands such as Adidas, Hugo Boss and H&M, as well as starting his own ventures.
In 2018, he became a founder and co-owner of U.S. Major League Soccer club, Inter Miami. The team made headlines in 2023 with the signing of Argentine superstar, Lionel Messi.
“I wanted to be part of growing the game in America. I saw the challenges, I knew the opportunities and I knew that we could grow it to a certain level,” Beckham said.
