Inter Miami: David Beckham's MLS team is called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami

David Beckham's Major League Soccer team will be called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami - or Inter Miami CF - and the club's crest has been unveiled.

Inter Miami will make their MLS debut in 2020, after being awarded an expansion contract in January.

The crest is pink, black and white, featuring two herons and a sun with seven rays - which are a "homage" to the ex-England captain's career.

"This is such a proud day for myself and for the entire team," said Beckham.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan midfielder, who is team owner and president, added: "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."

Managing owner Jorge Mas said: "Our city and our fans draw their strength from the dreams of a global population that calls Miami home.

"It is only fitting that our name pays tribute to the inclusiveness that makes us who we are."

The crest appeared on the front page of Wednesday's Miami Herald.

I've actually always thought that two birds and the sun is a perfect symbolism for Beckham's career

Every article seems to have a post from some moron saying 'who cares'. Thanks for adding 0 value whatsoever. You don't have to read it if it doesn't interest you.

Kinda crap,

I thought the crest would have been a photograph of Beckham himself,

As far as I am aware Mr Beckham has never harmed anyone, and has done a lot of good for a lot of people around the globe with his charitable work. Only in Britain would he be slagged off for everything he does or tries. We seem to hate success no matter how hard earned it was or is ..... sad really.

People seem annoyed he isn't investing in English football. I wonder if these are the very same people who complain there is too much money in English football? You couldn't make it up... Good luck DB!

It's meant to be an international club so call it Inter. It's based in Miami so call it Miami. Put it together and you have Inter Miami.

I don't see what's crap about that.

Cant wait to see the defensive quarterback punt a pass to the wide receiver who squares it for the offensive running back to put it in the score box. RELEASE THE KRAKEN !!!

Had the pleasure of serving the Beckhams' in my Palm Beach restaurant only last week.

David asked me for recommendations, I said "the steak is great, lobster freshly caught, how about the ribs?"

"Oh, Victoria will just have the salad." replied David.

Beckscum has lost all credibility by trying to dodge his speeding charge on a technicality. Before you down-vote me, just imagine if somebody you love was involved in a crash where the other driver was travelling at 59 mph in a 40 limit.

Well his spelling never was up to much, and surely 2 golden balls, in a smashed teacup, on a pile of money would be a more apt crest

Er...I'll get my Sarong
