The ex Real Madrid midfielder will be available in the popular FIFA 21 Ultimate Team mode and VOLTA Football mode.
Play FIFA 21 by January 15th 2021 and starting December 15th, you’ll receive an untradeable, one-of-a-kind David Beckham Item to add to your dream squad in FUT – celebrating the legendary English midfielder’s LaLiga debut for Real Madrid in the 03/04 season.
A GROUNDBREAKING CAREER
Born in East London, David Beckham grew up training day and night, ending up joining the likes of Paul Scholes as part of a precocious young group of talents who would take the Premier League by storm. He took the spotlight, scoring an incredible goal from the halfway line in the very first match of the 96-97 season.
Renowned for his trademark ability from set pieces, Beckham took centre stage during a dramatic 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, where his team overturned a 1-0 scoreline to come back and win 2-1, both goals orchestrated by Beckham’s corner kicks and cementing a historic treble for his side.
After completing the Premier League with 6 Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and a UEFA Champions League, Beckham joined Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2003. Alongside Zidane, Ronaldo Nazário, Raúl and Roberto Carlos, he was with some of the very best of his generation. His craft from the right of midfield saw him build excellent on-field partnerships with Ronaldo Nazário especially as he turned out 116 times for Los Blancos, scoring 16 goals and winning one LaLiga trophy and a UEFA Super Cup.
Next up was a pioneering move to LA Galaxy in 2007, boosting the profile of MLS to brand new heights. During off-season at Galaxy, Beckham would play for AC Milan – joining another legendary side – with fellow ICONS Ronaldinho and Nesta. Finally, he ended his career in Paris with PSG, donating his whole salary to a local children’s charity. After his final match, the Parc Des Princes stood up in unison to say goodbye to a player who had given so much to The World’s Game.
Beckham ended his career with 17 major honours from four different clubs and 115 caps for his country. It’s safe to say: his dreams came true.
