Charity Match

It was announced today that David Beckham will play in a charity match in Spain on November 19th. He will play alongside some of his former teammates from Real Madrid, including Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, and Roberto Carlos. This will be Beckham's first appearance in Spain since leading Real Madrid to the La Liga championship earlier this year.

The charity event is in its fifth year. All proceeds from the match go to support a variety of anti-poverty projects.

Beckham continues to promote himself to the world, especially to the Spanish people, even after leaving Real Madrid. Fans were reluctant to embrace the Englishman when he originally showed up from Manchester United in 2003, but he managed to win them over with his strong play, dedication, and his easy going "nice-guy" personality.
