Former England midfielder and Inter Miami CF co-owner David Beckham has been elected to the United States National Soccer Hall of Fame, with his formal induction ceremony scheduled for April 16, 2027, in Frisco, Texas.

Beckham was informed of his selection via the Veteran ballot during a Major League Soccer Board of Governors meeting. Reflecting on the honour, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star acknowledged that his years playing and working in the United States represent a truly special chapter of his career.

Beckham’s landmark move to the LA Galaxy in the summer of 2007 proved transformative for the growth and global profile of North American soccer. Across six seasons in California, the Englishman made 124 appearances in all competitions, scored 20 goals, lifted two MLS Cups, and captured two Supporters' Shields. He later returned to the league in an executive capacity as co-founder of Inter Miami, spearheading a project that brought Lionel Messi to MLS in 2023 and delivered another seismic boost to the domestic game.
