MIAMI (Reuters) - David Beckham’s three year old plans to bring a Major League Soccer team to Miami may be stalled but the South East of the U.S. will celebrate the birth of a new club when Atlanta United kick-off their first season later this week.
While Beckham promised a ‘global’ club in South Florida at a news conference in February 2014, the former England and Manchester United midfielder, has yet to even secure all the land needed for a stadium in Miami and his consortium are still searching for financial backers.
