Or Inter Miami CF for short.

David Beckham's Major League Soccer team will be called Club Internacional de Futbol Miami - or Inter Miami CF - and the club's crest has been unveiled.

Inter Miami will make their MLS debut in 2020, after being awarded an expansion contact in January.

The crest is pink, black and white, featuring two herons and a sun with seven rays - which are a "homage" to the ex-England captain's career.

"This is such a proud day for myself and for the entire team," said Beckham.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris St-Germain and AC Milan midfielder, who is team owner and president, added: "We are taking another important step in establishing our club and today marks an important moment in the history of Club Internacional de Futbol Miami."

Managing owner Jorge Mas said: "Our city and our fans draw their strength from the dreams of a global population that calls Miami home.

"It is only fitting that our name pays tribute to the inclusiveness that makes us who we are."

The crest appeared on the front page of Wednesday's Miami Herald.

Err OK. Fucking stoopid name.

I mean if there was a city to justify a Spanish name, I suppose Miami would be the choice. About 60% speak Spanish there.

“today marks an important moment in the history of Club Internacional de Futbol MiamI”

No shit, Becks. Most clubs would agree their inception was pretty important in their history.

I can see Rooney doing something similar when he retires....except he'll name his club Inter Yanan.

It’s probably the most sane place in Florida.

Which is saying something because it’s still a ridiculous blend of Cubans, tourists, and people who have crawled out of some god forsaken swamp.

This is what happens when you leave Beckham in charge of filling in the paperwork... he probably just doesn’t know how to spell international and football :LOL:
