He's travelling around the world for a new BBC documentary about grassroots football.
And after visiting eastern Africa over the weekend, David Beckham's next stop was Buenos Aires, where he partook in a friendly game of football with excited local children on Monday.
The 40-year-old retired sportsman got into the spirit of things when he visited the La Boca neighbourhood by donning an official Argentina shirt.

Kickabout: David Beckham took part in a game of football with young children in the La Boca neighbourhood near Buenos Aires, Argentina on Monday
The former England captain was famously given a red card during a match against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup, but he has clearly put the past behind him.
The star spent two hours in the playground for the kickabout, which was filmed for his new programme, as well as chatting to fans and posing for photos.
Beckham was a real hit with the locals, especially the kids, who were clearly awestruck by the presence of a sporting legend in their midst.
The father-of-four showcased his paternal instincts as he joked around with the youngsters, even playfully wrestling one little boy during the game.
