David Beckham is set to embark on a phenomenal world tour in a bid to aid UNICEF.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Paris Saint-Germain and LA Galaxy star will play seven charity matches in seven continents over a week to mark his 10-year anniversary as the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

Earlier this month, Beckham announced he would be returning to Old Trafford to captain a Great Britain XI against a Rest of the World XI in November and it has now been revealed by TheMirror that there will be another six matches on the tour simply named '7'.

Beckham's remarkable sojourn will see him play on all seven continents over the space of seven days and will be followed by the BBC with a documentary to be aired at some point in the near future.
