Major League Soccer has approved a new set of owners to partner David Beckham in Miami.

Jorge and Jose Mas, leaders of telecommunications giant MasTec, and Japanese entrepreneur and SoftBank founder and CEO Masayoshi Son have all been approved as owners of Miami's prospective MLS expansion club.

Fromer Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy star Beckham, Sprint CEO and Brightstar founder Marcelo Claure and entertainment entrepreneur and manager Simon Fuller were all already part of the ownership group.

Miami was left off a list of four cities for two available spots when MLS announced Cincinnati, Detroit, Nashville, and Sacramento as expansion finalists in November.
