Former England and Manchester United star David Beckham has been confirmed as an investor into Guild Esports.
Beckham has transcended his roots in the sport, now known globally as a philanthropist and owner of the MLS' Inter Miami football club.
The 45-year-old has now been revealed as a partner and investor in a new organization owned by Blue Star Capital PLC, a company based in London. This is also where Guild are based, who will now be looking to cultivate a significant fanbase in the United Kingdom.
Tony Fabrizi, CEO of Blue Star said:
“We are very pleased to announce today’s news from Guild regarding its global launch and the association with David Beckham. The team behind Guild is incredibly strong and gives us great confidence that the company has an exciting future.”
