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'.

Jannik Sinner in shock career change as three-time Grand Slam winner, 23, releases single with Andrea Bocelli
Sinner not the first tennis star to launch musical side-hustle JANNIK SINGER Jannik Sinner in shock career change as three-time Grand Slam winner, 23, releases single with Andrea Bocelli JANNIK SINNER has swapped tennis swinging for tenor singing with his shock new music collaboration. The world No1 tennis star, 23, has proven his ability with a racquet in hand.

That is because the top male singles player has dropped his very own... single. The Australian Open and US Open champion - who served a controversial three-month doping ban earlier this year - has linked up with Italian compatriot and world-famous opera singer Bocelli, 66, to release their track. The celebrity duo's duet Polvere e Gloria - which translates as 'Dust and Glory' in English - will be released on Friday, with a teaser video featuring the pair launched on Thursday.

And the three-time major winner will be hoping he smashes it rather than double faults as he aims to hit the notes... not the nets. Sinner follows in the footsteps of fellow tennis players Yannick Noah, Lorenzo Sonego, Denis Shapovalov and Corentin Moutet by releasing music - with the others having mixed levels of success. Bocelli, meanwhile, memorably sang at Leicester City's 5,000-1 Premier League title coronation for his friend Claudio Ranieri - and then made a surprise cameo on Match of the Day last month to bid Gary Lineker farewell.

Great British Menu star suddenly closes city centre restaurant after just 18 months as chef issues sombre warning
The owners blamed rising costs and taxes for the sudden closure SHUTTERS DOWN Great British Menu star suddenly closes city centre restaurant after just 18 months as chef issues sombre warning Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TRENDY restaurant in the heart of Manchester is closing down just 15 months after first opening its doors to punters. Medlock Canteen in Deansgate was co-founded by Great British Menu star Sam Grainger and first launched in March last year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Sam Grainger starred in Great British Menu Credit: BBC 3 His latest restaurant, Medlock Canteen, is closing down Credit: Medlock Canteen Its owners announced the sad of social media, saying there were too many factors at play that would allow the restaurant to stay open any longer. The restaurant was a fusion of a French bistro and American diner that served bottomless coffees and chicken rotisserie among many other delectable items. "With heavy hearts, we're announcing the closure of Medlock Canteen," the restaurant began in a statement posted to Instagram. "When we opened our doors 18 months ago, our dream was simple: to build a neighbourhood spot where everyone felt welcome, serving proper good food you know, love and can't wait to eat." The statement continued: "But the current climate has made that dream a tough one to sustain. Rising costs, increased taxes, and tighter spending have created challenges we've fought hard to overcome but, sadly, they're ones we just can't compete with. "We're proud to say our amazing team has been looked after, with payroll up to date and everyone offered roles elsewhere in our family of venues. "If you've got opportunities going, drop us a message - we'd love to pass them on to anyone ready for their next chapter." The restaurant's three owners concluded: "To everyone who dined, left us a rave review, shared a laugh, or came back for seconds: thank you. You made this little place feel truly special. "And yes, we promise, one day, somehow, we'll get that rhubarb pie back to you! Chris, Owain and Sam x." The three restaurateurs then offered anyone left in the lurch without a booking at the sudden closure of Medlock Canteen a 20 percent discount at their other eateries, Madre, Salon and Winsome. Sam, who hails from Liverpool, first fell in love with food thanks to his West Indian grandfather. He then travelled around the world to hone his skills as a cook, including a stint in Australia and Asia. Sam also owns the restaurant Belzan, which is his flagship eatery in Liverpool, a street food Mexican joint called Escape to Freight Island in Manchester and Madre an authentic Mexican taqueria in the Royal Albert Dock.

Tijjani Reijnders ‘can be very important' for Man City
Nathan Ake expects fellow Dutchman and new Manchester City team-mate Tijjani Reijnders to have a big impact at the club. Reijnders joined City from AC Milan last week in a deal worth an initial £46.5million as part of Pep Guardiola's rebuild in response to their disappointing 2024-25 season. Advertisement The 26-year-old made an impressive debut, playing the full game, as City began their challenge at the Club World Cup with a comfortable 2-0 win over Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia on Wednesday. Ake has played alongside Reijnders for the Netherlands (Nick Potts/PA) Central defender Ake said: 'I know him really well and I think he can be very important. 'I think from the first week in training, you could see that he fits in really well and you can see the quality he has. 'He can play in different positions, he can get into the box, he can keep the ball going and moving forward. He has great quality and there's so much more to come. Advertisement 'He did really well. It was tough circumstances but he kept the ball really well, kept us moving and offensively he was very good.' Ake played 90 minutes himself for the first time since January as City saw off their Moroccan opponents in their Group G opener with first-half goals from Phil Foden and Jeremy Doku. His past season was a frustrating one as he made just 18 appearances in all competitions due to fitness problems. The 30-year-old said: 'It was very tough. I basically always tried to push, tried to come back as quick as possible but then I got injured again and mentally it can be tough. Advertisement 'It's never easy but luckily that's done now and hopefully now I can stay fit and keep performing. 'I feel good. I had my first 60 (minutes) with the national team and this was my first 90 in a little while. 'Obviously (I hope there is) more to come but this game was important in the group and it's a good start for me.'
