The Beckham family, including David and Victoria Beckham, were present at Miami Stadium to witness England‘s World Cup quarter-final match against Norway. Their daughter, Harper Beckham, joined her parents and brothers, Romeo and Cruz, to support the Three Lions.
Harper Beckham, who recently celebrated her 15th birthday, was noted for her style at the event. She wore a black bandeau top with pale-blue jeans and had an England jacket draped over her arms. Her look was completed with a delicate necklace, and her long blonde hair was worn loose.
Her mother, Victoria Beckham, was seen in a champagne satin top and white trousers, accessorised with oversized aviator sunglasses. David Beckham, meanwhile, wore a navy suit with a white shirt and a coordinating tie. Both Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 21, showed their support by wearing England shirts.
The match saw England secure a 2-1 victory over Norway after extra time, with Jude Bellingham scoring both goals. This win propelled England into the World Cup semi-finals.
Pre-match preparations and support
Ahead of the crucial quarter-final, England‘s squad held their final preparations at Inter Miami‘s training facilities. David Beckham, who is the club’s president and co-owner, welcomed Thomas Tuchel‘s team. He was accompanied by his sons, Romeo and Cruz, during the training session.
Beckham spent time speaking with several members of the national team, including FC Barcelona‘s new signing, Anthony Gordon. Gordon, who joined Barça this summer from Newcastle United, has become an increasingly important player for the Three Lions in recent matches.
Gordon appeared engaged during his conversation with Beckham, as the two shared a lengthy exchange before England‘s match. Gordon was expected to start on the left wing against Norway, ahead of former Barcelona on-loan player Marcus Rashford, following a series of impressive performances.
In his four appearances in the tournament so far, Gordon registered two assists, both coming against DR Congo in the Round of 32 after he came on as a substitute. Starting against Mexico in the Round of 16, the 25-year-old winger won the penalty from which Harry Kane scored the match-winning goal.
Norway entered the match with confidence after eliminating Brazil in an upset, with Erling Haaland leading their side. England, despite being considered favourites, were aware of the challenge posed by Norway.
Celebrations and fan experience
The atmosphere in Miami was described as celebratory, with fans gathering to support England. Inside the stadium, the bar facilities were noted for their offerings, which included double 12-year-old deluxe blended Scotch Buchanans whisky for £22, and frozen margaritas and strawberry daiquiris for £25.
One memorable moment for attendees was seeing David Beckham singing ‘Wonderwall’ on the stadium’s large screens. Another significant moment occurred when substitute Dan Burn cleared Norway‘s final cross with his head just before the final whistle.
Following the match, England‘s players formed a line, linking arms, for the ‘Wonderwall’ anthem. A rendition of ‘Hey Jude’ was also noted for its impact. The squad then made their way to the section of the stands where their loved ones were seated to show their appreciation before departing the pitch.
After the players had left, Robbie Williams‘ song ‘Angels’ was sung by the England supporters. This victory marked a significant step for England in the World Cup tournament.
Harper Beckham‘s appearance at the match followed her 15th birthday, which prompted tributes from both her parents. David Beckham described her as a “perfect daughter, sweet, kind & a beautiful human with the best personality just like daddy.” Victoria Beckham expressed her pride, stating, “I cannot even begin to express how much I love and adore you and how incredibly proud I am to be your mummy – it has been the greatest joy to see you blossom into a young lady.”
The match was held in Miami, a location that saw England defeat Norway in a World Cup qualifying fixture in September 1980.
