David Beckham insists a future MLS expansion team in Las Vegas is 'a real opportunity' as Sin City aims to add a soccer team to its growing sports portfolio

David Beckham has seemingly thrown his weight behind Las Vegas' attempt to have a MLS expansion team in the future.

San Diego was announced as the newest expansion team in American soccer back in May and will join in 2025, when MLS will grow to 30 teams.

But Sin City is quickly reestablishing itself as a sporting powerhouse with the relocation of the Oakland Athletics baseball team earlier this month the latest piece of their growing empire.

The city has already welcomed the Las Vegas Raiders NFL team from Oakland, too, as well as the Las Vegas Golden Knights, who became an NHL expansion team in 2016.
