David Beckham<\/strong> <\/a>is best known as a pro soccer player, with his illustrious career spanning more than 20 years in the 1990s and early 2000s. However, the footballer retired from the sport in 2013. With the recent release of his Netflix docuseries Beckham<\/em>, fans are curious about exactly what David is up to today.<\/p>\n David was 38 years old when he played his final professional soccer game in 2013. At the time, he was playing for Paris Saint-Germain. He announced his retirement in May of 2013, 21 years after he started his professional soccer career.<\/p>\n \u201cI wouldn\u2019t have achieved what I have done today without my family,\u201d David said in a statement at the time. \u201cI\u2019m grateful for my parents\u2019 sacrifice, which made me realize my dreams. I owe everything to [my wife] Victoria [Beckham]<\/strong><\/a> and the kids<\/a>, who have given me the inspiration and support to play at the highest level for such a long period. If you had told me as a young boy I would have played for and won trophies with my boyhood club Manchester United, proudly captained and played for my country over 100 times and lined up for some of the biggest clubs in the world, I would have told you it was a fantasy, I\u2019m fortunate to have realized those dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n Prior to his one season with Paris Saint-Germain, David played professional soccer for various clubs all over the world. His career began with Manchester United in 1992 when he was still a teenager. He then played with Real Madrid in Spain from 2003 until 2007 before making his Major League Soccer debut in the United States with the L.A. Galaxy. In 2009 and 2010, he made a loan move to AC Milan in Italy for two seasons.<\/p>\n David was not able to stray from the field of soccer for long. He announced his plans to create a new MLS team in the Miami, Florida in 2014. Inter Miami was officially launched in 2018, with the team\u2019s first game taking place in 2020. Another legendary soccer star, Lionel Messi, joined the team in 2023, adding to its notoriety. Additionally, David has a 10 percent stake in the Salford City club.<\/p>\n Being the president and owner of a Major League Soccer team is probably enough to keep David busy, but he also has some other ventures on his resume. In 2022, David served as the ambassador to Qatar when the country hosted the FIFA World Cup. It was also announced that he had signed a 10-year, multi-million-dollar deal to represent the country. Although the decision received backlash due to various human rights issues in Qatar, David has defended the move.<\/p>\nAt What Age Did David Beckham Retire?<\/h2>\n
