Serena Williams received a special gift from Inter Miami CF co-owner David Beckham over the weekend at the Major League Soccer team’s 2025 regular season opener: a custom jersey bearing her name and the No. 1.
The retired tennis great was among a star-studded guest list who watched Lionel Messi and company in action at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, as French soccer player Paul Pogba and actress Eva Longoria were also in attendance, the former of whom posed with Williams on the field.
Miami and NYCFC earned a late draw in the game, as the home squad played with 10 men after a red card and Messi assisted on both goals.
In a video posted by the team, Beckham and Williams were seen chatting on the pitch, and sharing a hug, as she connected with the former English great a few short weeks after her viral appearance at another football game: the Super Bowl, where she made a celebrated cameo during Kendrick Lamar’s halftime performance.
