As England competes in the Women’s World Cup here in Australia and New Zealand, football legend David Beckham has revealed how the Lionesses’ success has ignited a passion for the game in his daughter, Harper.

Beckham shared that Harper has been so inspired by the Lionesses that she requested her dad to collect autographs from her favourite players.

Beckham himself expresses his gratitude to the striking sensation Alessia Russo for inspiring a new generation of footballers, including his own daughter. Speaking about Russo’s impact, Beckham acknowledges the power of role models like her in driving young boys and girls towards the beautiful game.

As the FIFA Women’s World Cup unfolds, England has rallied behind the Lionesses. Beckham’s heartfelt thanks to Russo reflects the immense pride and excitement surrounding the tournament.

With early kick-offs for UK viewers, usual morning TV shows have been cancelled so that fans can witness the Lionesses’ pursuit of glory.
