David Beckham's son, Cruz, to participate in $1million The Soccer Tournament this summer in North Carolina... with one of his dad's former MLS teammates!

David Beckham's son, Cruz, is the latest addition to The Soccer Tournament, the competition announced on Wednesday.

Last summer, participants in the inaugural 7-on-7 event included former USA internationals DaMarcus Beasley and Jermaine Johnson, and even NBA legend Steve Nash.

And now 19-year-old Cruz is set to suit up for Saturdays Football in the $1million, winner-takes-all tournament which takes place in Cary, NC.

Also on the team will be former MLS Rookie of the Year Sean Franklin, who played with Cruz's famous father when he was on the Galaxy.

TST has announced several other teams for this year's tournament, with Mario Balotelli and Nani set to play together on the aptly-named Nani FC.
