David also played a friendly football match with children from underserved communities trained and empowered by ngo -Oscar Foundation in football and life skills at the Cooperage Football Grounds in Mumbai, listening to their lived experiences and stories, how they are breaking barriers, and making progress toward reaching their aspirations.
At the Cooperage Football Grounds in Mumbai, David met 12-year-old Khushi and 10-year-old Rohit, who found their calling in football, enabling them to learn life skills, gain confidence, and feel a sense of belonging. 'I was always very quiet and withdrawn. Playing football helped me to open up and communicate better. I learnt how to interact with others and make decisions,' said Khushi.
On Friday, he also attended an event with actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
David Beckham is considered one of the finest footballers of all time. He is known for his stints with Manchester United from 1992 to 2003 and Real Madrid from 2003 to 2007, while having also represented Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, Preston North End and LA Galaxy.
He is a six-time Premier League winner and one-time UEFA Champions League winner with Manchester United. He has also captured a La Liga and Ligue 1 with Real Madrid and PSG, respectively, amongst several other team and individual honours. He has also played over 100 matches for England from 1996 to 2009. (ANI)
