David Beckham shows off Inter Miami's incredible new stadium as 25,000-seater ‘new home' takes shape
DAVID BECKHAM has shown off the incredible progress of the new Inter Miami stadium. Dubbed Miami Freedom Park, the £747million ($1billion) project is scheduled to open in 2026. 7 7 Construction began as early as March and has seen rapid progress. Club owner Beckham took to Instagram to provide an update on the work following his team's Club World Cup opener against Al Ahly, which they drew 0-0. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star was pictured on the building site inside the concrete shell of the stadium. New knight Becks was seen with his hands raised out wide as he wore a white shirt, tan shorts and an Inter Miami hat. The foundations of the ground could be seen behind him, along with construction equipment and a few workers holding a discussion. In the far distance, a grandstand could be seen part-built, doubtless the first look at what the 25,000-capacity stadium will look like when finished. The second picture on the slide showed Beckham alongside his child, Cruz, and wife, Victoria, as they stood in front of a model of what the entire area will look like when the work is finished. Another picture showed Beckham with his arm around Cruz while they wore high-vis jackets and black hard hats. Beckham, 50, captioned his post: "Our beautiful new home is taking shape. For me, Jorge & Jose Mas our dream for our club is becoming a reality. Miami Freedom Park… coming soon." Victoria replied under it saying: "It is going to be incredible!!!! We are all so proud!!!! Xxxx." The venue itself is located right near Miami airport. The project was green-lit by the city of Miami following a referendum in which it got 60 per cent approval. Freedom Park will be 100 per cent privately funded, while Inter Miami will pay 57 per cent over fair market value in rent to the city. It's claimed that rent alone from the 131-acre development area will bring the city $2.67bn over the term of the lease. This land will feature a 58-acre public park - the largest activated park in Miami - and will feature youth athletic fields for the community, entertainment-based retail and attractions, restaurants, hotels, shops, office space and an entertainment venue to host major international stars in addition to concerts that will take place in the stadium. The club says more than 15,000 jobs will be created both directly and indirectly through the project, which should be complete by the end of the year. This all comes with the backdrop of a huge rift in the Beckham family with Brooklyn buying a £10.5m property in Hollywood last week with his wife, Nicola Peltz, as revealed by The Sun. News of Brooklyn's house purchase comes after he snubbed his dad on Father's Day, which Nicola being accused of driving a wedge in the family and 'effectively holding him hostage'. 7 7 7 WATCH EVERY MATCH OF THE CLUB WORLD CUP 2025 LIVE ON DAZN What do David Beckham's tattoos mean? Hands Starting with the hands, and David Beckham has the word "Love" inked across the top of his left hand, with a swallow on either side. This is joined by the numbers 723, a combination of the shirts he famously wore for Manchester United and later Real Madrid. On his little finger, he has the year he was married. Becks also has a small female-stick figure designed by his daughter Harper. The devoted husband has "Posh' tattooed on a finger as a nod to wife Victoria Beckham 's Spice Girls nickname. Arms Becks has two sleeve tattoos on both his arms with the centrepieces paying tribute to his marriage to Victoria. The most famous of his body art comes in the shape of her name along the inside of his forearm, which is inked in Sanskrit. Both Posh and Becks have Hebrew tattoos, which they got to celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary. The matching tatts translate to, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine". Meanwhile, Becks also has a separate rose inking on his left arm to mark the couple's tenth anniversary. Neck One of Beckham's most famous tattoos is on his neck, which is a gothic style cross and wings. It is symbolic of to his religion and acts as a protective guardian of his son Romeo, whose name is tattooed just below the angel wings. Beckham also has the name of his daughter, Harper, on the side of his neck. This was later updated to include the words "Pretty Lady", to mark her fourth birthday. Back Beckham's back tattoos serve as tribute to his sons. He has angel wings at the top as a sign of protection for them. Becks has both his eldest on Brooklyn, and his youngest son Cruz 's names inked across his back. Body Beckham has a large chest tattoo that is an image of himself as Jesus, with three cherubs representing his sons, Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz. The footy ace also has a vertical tattoo down his left side in Chinese symbols - this translates as 'Death and life have determined appointments". Paying homage to his father, he has an inking of a ship at full mast - which is identical to the same one his dad has.
