LA Galaxy star David Beckham will hold a coaching clinic for both players and coaches in Trinidad this weekend.

The English star is helping England's bid for the 2018 World Cup by travelling to the Caribbean to hold the clinic which will coincide with the U17 women's World Cup in Port-of-Spain.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter and vice-president Jack Warner will attend the game and were delighted that Beckham would be in the area continuing his assistance with the development of the game.

"It is heartening to know that a man of such international stature remains committed to the development of talent worldwide," Warner said in a statement released Monday by England's bid team. "This is a remarkable opportunity for the 200 participants. The fact that, despite his busy schedule, David has taken the time to open this festival, to share his knowledge with the children, is testament to his character."

Beckham added: "Trinidad and Tobago have produced some excellent players over the years and the islands are full of young people who love football. I am really looking forward to seeing the young girls and boys from all backgrounds and their coaches at my academy.

"Encouraging young girls to play football has always been an important part of the thinking behind the academy and it will be great to take this opportunity to also see some of the world's best young women play in the Under-17 final."
