Manchester United and England legend David Beckham has been awarded a knighthood in recognition of his football career and extensive charitable work.
Softfootball reports that Beckham was included in the King’s Birthday Honours, receiving one of the United Kingdom’s highest individual recognitions.
The former England captain began his senior career at Manchester United, where he made 394 appearances and scored 85 goals. He later represented Real Madrid, LA Galaxy, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain during an illustrious playing career.
Beckham also earned 115 England caps and captained the national team 59 times. His influence extended beyond the pitch, particularly through his long-running work with UNICEF and other charitable organisations.
The former midfielder has served as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador since 2005 and established the 7 Fund to support vulnerable children around the world. He has also backed several British charities and causes.
He is a co-owner of Inter Miami, helping raise the club’s profile internationally.
The knighthood adds another major distinction to his legacy and reflects the impact Beckham has made both as a footballer and public figure.
