FIFA World Cup 2026: England Legend David Beckham joins Three Lions camp ahead of WC QF clash against Norway
Florida, July 11
Football icon David Beckham visited England's training session in Miami, ahead of their FIFA World Cup 2026 clash against Norway at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida on Saturday.
The official England football team handle shared a picture of Beckham alongside Three Lions players and wrote on X, "Sir David Beckham."
England head into the contest after a dramatic 3-2 victory over co-hosts Mexico in the Round of 16 despite playing much of the second half with 10 men.
Jude Bellingham scored twice before Kane converted the decisive penalty as Thomas Tuchel's side reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the 11th time.
Norway, meanwhile, created history by defeating five-time champions Brazil 2-1 to reach the last eight for the first time, with Haaland scoring both goals in a memorable victory.
During the match against Brazil, Haaland's tally went to seven goals after a brace, making him the player with the joint-most goals in his debut World Cup since Poland's Grzegorz Lato scored seven in 1974.
England have reached their 11th FIFA World Cup quarter-final, with only Brazil (15) and Germany (14) having made more appearances at this stage.

Watching England play with 10 men and still win shows their grit. But I still think Southgate's team had better balance than Tuchel's current side. Beckham visiting is pure nostalgia though - reminds me of his free-kicks against Greece! 😍
As a football fan in India, this is amazing to see! Beckham meeting the squad - what legends. But honestly, Norway's win over Brazil was massive. Haaland vs England defence will be key. Bellingham and Kane need to step up again. Come on England! ⚽
Respectfully, I think bringing legends into camp is good for vibes but doesn't solve tactical issues. Tuchel needs to work on set-piece defending - Mexico almost exploited that. Norway's counter-attacks with Haaland are lethal. Beckham or not, this will be a proper test. 🧐
Can't believe England reached 11 quarter-finals! Only Brazil and Germany ahead - that's huge. Beckham's visit is a wonderful touch, shows the unity in the camp. Hope the weather in Miami works in England's favour. Calling it now: Kane hat-trick! 🏆
Sir David Beckham - that says it all. Football royalty. But I'm more excited about Haaland breaking records. Seven goals in his debut WC? That's unheard of! If Norway beats England, it'll be the biggest upset this tournament. What a time for football! 🌟
