Sao Paulo: David Beckham will open a first in Brazil, a 'David Beckham World of Sport,' a professional sports complex designed and planned with his input.
The complex - including eight soccer fields, a 10,000-seat stadium and facilities for golf and tennis among others - will be in a soon-to-be-built luxury resort near the northeastern city of Natal, according to a statement by the Cabo Sao Roque resort on Tuesday.
Beckham, who was in Brazil for the announcement, said the facility will incorporate a scholarship programme for Brazilian children that will actively outreach to schools in the region, and that the training facilities will be able to accommodate visiting soccer teams and other sports such as American football
