David Beckham, the former England captain, and Victoria Beckham, the fashion designer, drew attention at the match between England and Norway. The couple were joined in the stands by three of their four children to watch the encounter live.

The match was held in Miami, where the former footballer serves as co-owner of Inter Miami CF, the Major League Soccer club. Television cameras captured the moment the couple sang the national anthem shortly before kickoff.

After England secured their place in the next stage of the World Cup, David Beckham expressed his pride on Instagram. Sharing a photograph of himself and his family celebrating in the stands, he wrote in his post: “What a special moment in Miami! I’m so proud of the team who reached the World Cup semi-finals tonight, and celebrating it with my family made it even more special. Thank you, England, for giving our country moments like this.”

Victoria Beckham also shared a post. On her personal Instagram account, she uploaded the same photograph as her husband, accompanying it with the words: “A special moment tonight in Miami, together with my family and for our country.”
