For Beckham, playing in a World Cup is a unique experience, surpassing even club football. He fondly remembers representing England, scoring his first World Cup goal against Colombia on his mother's birthday, and later becoming captain of the national team. The 2026 World Cup, taking place in the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11th to July 19th, features 48 national teams competing at 16 modern stadiums.
