David Beckham is looking forward to the challenge of taking on the Oceania All-Stars this Saturday night. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger said that it is important for the team to take it seriously and that it would be a great experience for the younger Galaxy players.

"It's an important game for us," Beckham said.

"Some of the younger kids have not had much playing time. It's a good opportunity for them to prove that they're good players and they're good Galaxy players.

"But it isn't all about the result, it's about letting the public come out and watch some of their heroes of the game."

Beckham said he was also looking forward to the battle with two old foes, Christian Karembeu and Edgar Davids.

"Playing against Christian again will be great - a World Cup winner, it doesn't come any bigger than that in football," he added.

"Of course, it will be great to play against Edgar as well. I'll try to stay away from him, because I know he likes to kick people.

"We've had a few battles in the past with Manchester United and Juventus."

The LA Galaxy take on the Oceania All-Stars in 'The Beautiful Game' this Saturday December 6 at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand.
