David Beckham will be knighted - a historic recognition!

The name of David Beckham, the legend of English football, who has won the hearts of millions of fans, has once again received worldwide recognition. According to BBC Sport, the famous footballer will be awarded a knighthood next week.

This high award will be presented in the list of honorees, which will be announced in mid-June on the occasion of the official birthday of British King Charles III. Thus, Beckham will officially receive the title of “sir”, and his wife, former member of the Spice Girls group Victoria Beckham, will receive the status of “lady”.

It is worth noting that this prestigious recognition is given not only to Beckham as a footballer, but also for his activities outside of sports, charitable activities and diplomatic activities. According to The Guardian, David and Victoria Beckham have been actively participating in the events of the royal family in recent years. In particular, they attended the traditional flower show in Chelsea in May, and in February, an official dinner dedicated to Anglo-Italian relations at Charles III's Highgrove residence.

When it comes to Beckham's football achievements, it is worth noting that he won the English Premier League six times with Manchester United and won the Champions League in 1999. He also played for world giants such as Real Madrid, Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and Los Angeles Galaxy. He played 115 matches for the England national team, scoring 17 goals.

Currently, Beckham is continuing his football career in a different direction - he is one of the co-founders of the American club Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi plays.

Now he will go down in history not only as a football star, but also as a knight of Great Britain. This is not only a personal victory for Beckham, but also a great example of selflessness in the world of sports.
