Beckham Unveils Verizon's Exclusive 2026 World Cup Fan Experiences

In a move to bring the excitement of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to fans, retired soccer legend David Beckham has partnered with telecommunications giant Verizon. The "Verizon Ultimate Access to FIFA World Cup 26" campaign will provide Verizon customers with thousands of free tickets to the games across 16 host cities in the United States.

Beyond the free tickets, the campaign also offers fans the chance to win "Golden Tickets" for exclusive experiences, including on-field pitch-side viewing, meet-and-greets, and other VIP opportunities leading up to the tournament. Beckham, who played in three World Cups himself, emphasizes the power of sports to unite people and create unforgettable moments of celebration and drama.

The 50-year-old star notes that technological advancements over the past three decades have significantly transformed how fans can now share these special moments. "Thirty years ago, I'd have to wait until I got home after a game to call those close to me, but now you can video call people live from the action," he shares. "It's completely changed how we share these special moments."

Beckham's partnership with Verizon is just one of the many business ventures he has pursued since retiring from professional soccer in 2013. The legendary athlete credits his strong work ethic and the value of teamwork as key factors that have served him well both on and off the field.
