David Beckham reveals name of his MLS team – Inter Miami CF to enter league in 2020
The Miami MLS Ownership Group, led by former England captain David Beckham, has revealed that the franchise team will be called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami – or Inter Miami for short.
According to Beckham, the name celebrates Miami and represents the city's "international, diverse, inclusive, creative and ambitious spirit".
“We are taking another important step in establishing our Club and today marks an important moment in the history of Club Internacional de Futbol Miami," said Beckham, the team's majority owner and president of football operations.
"Club Internacional de Futbol Miami is a name that celebrates the incredible energy of one of the most exciting cities in the world – one that is diverse, passionate and ambitious. A city that has welcomed me and so many others, so warmly.
"Our club will be a home for all – no matter where you are from or how you got here. This is just the beginning of our journey as we continue to build towards our first game in 2020."
Beckham officially launched his MLS venture in Miami on 29 January this year, following nearly five years of negotiations.
In 2014, he exercised an option in his contract with former side LA Galaxy to buy an expansion MLS franchise when he retired from football.
Beckham and the rest of the ownership group are currently in talks with city officials over a land deal for a 25,000-capacity stadium.
