BECKHAM TO OPEN SPORTS COMPLEX, ACADEMY IN BRAZIL LUXURY RESORT
Tuesday, January 29, 2008
David Beckham will announce plans Tuesday for his third soccer academy - the Beckham World of Sport in Brazil, a sports complex that will be located in a soon-to-be-built luxury resort that backers say will be one of the country's largest.
The latest David Beckham Academy will be among the highlights of the new development in northeastern Brazil, according to a statement by the Cabo Sao Roque resort, which will be built near the resort city of Natal.
Beckham is a partner in the resort project, and also will oversee the academy, a soccer training facility on the resort's grounds. Beckham's academies already have been established in London and at the Home Depot Center in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, home to the Los Angeles Galaxy and the U.S. national teams programs.
