Tom Brady joins David Beckham and Lionel Messi at MLS game & gets gift from soccer icon after celebrating his team’s win
TOM Brady has made his way to Florida where he’s joined up with two of soccer’s biggest stars.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion and Fox NFL broadcaster, 46, joined David Beckham and Lionel Messi in the stands at Chase Stadium on Saturday as Inter Miami beat FC Cincinnati 2-0.

Before the game kicked off, Brady and Beckham made their way down to the field where they posed side by side for snaps.
There, Beckham – who is a part owner of Inter Miami – gifted Brady a custom No. 12 jersey.
Brady looked sleek as always in a green shirt, jeans, and white sneakers, while Beckham opted for a dark blue suit and tie paired with a pair of brown leather shoes.
During the game, the two were captured chatting as they watched on, with Brady sitting just behind the former England captain.
Meanwhile, the injured Messi cheered on his teammates from the stands whilst sipping on yerba mate.
The World Cup champion is currently recovering from a ligament injury in his right ankle sustained during Argentina’s Copa America final win.
Clips and shots of the three sporting icons in-house quickly spread on X, where fans wasted no time in sharing in their excitement.
“GOAT sightings. Leo Messi x Tom Brady in the house!!!!” one wrote.
“Things we love to see,” said a second.
“Just need Peyton [Manning] there, and then you are set!” added another.
While a fourth brutally commented, “The third or fourth greatest quarterback of all time is in the same building as the greatest football player of all time.”
The night proved an important one for Inter Miami, who became the first team this season to secure a playoff spot thanks to their win.
And the player they all have to thank was a certain Luis Suarez, who scored both goals for coach Gerardo Martino’s side within the opening seven minutes.
The win also extends Inter Miami’s lead at the top of the Eastern Conference to eight points above Cincinnati in second.
Next up for Martino and Co. will be a trip to Illinois where they’ll take on the Chicago Fire on August 31.
Meanwhile, Brady had another win to celebrate on Saturday.
A part owner in English League One soccer team Birmingham City, they secured their second win of the season on Saturday.
Chris Davis’ team beat Leyton Orient 2-1 away, leaving them fifth in the table on seven points, tied with Wrexham AFC – who are owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.
“Great win! We need your support all year long,” Brady captioned an Instagram Stories shot of the Birmingham City crowd celebrating.
They will return to action on Tuesday when Premier League side Fulham head to St. Andrews in the second round of the EFL Cup.
