David Beckham has thrown his support behind the combined United States, Canada and Mexico bid to host the 2026 World Cup.
The three North American countries are competing with Morocco to host world football's showpiece event, with a decision to be made on June 13.
Last week, FIFA confirmed the joint bid had scored four out of five in its evaluation report, receiving a better score than their African opponents, who managed just 2.7.
Disgraced former FIFA president Sepp Blatter publicly backed Morocco's proposal, but the United bid has its own high-profile supporter in Beckham.
"A competition like the World Cup deserves to be in great places and if the US, Canada and Mexico get that it will be very special," said the former England captain, who finished his career with LA Galaxy and is launching his own MLS franchise in 2020.
