David Beckham delighted young children when he enjoyed a kickaround in a deprived Argentina shanty town.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid man is travelling the world as part of a new documentary about football in different corners of the globe.
Beckham arrived at the Villa 1-11-14 shanty town, located near to San Lorenzo's stadium in the south of Buenos Aires, and took on a handful of the local kids in an impromptu match. Continue
Hoards of people surrounded the pitch where the match was played, hoping to get a glimpse of the one-time England captain.
Local priest Hernan Morelli told Cancha Llena: "He was here for about two hours. He said hello to residents and played football with the children.
"Here we have the church team, Mothers of the People, and he played with them."
Beckham's documentary is set to show seven games of football on seven continents, which will see him visit places such as Antarctica, Djibouti and Miami.
He has already been filmed kicking a ball around with locals in Papua New Guinea and Nepal.
During his visit to Nepal, Beckham enjoyed a match with children who were devastated by April's earthquake and embraced the local culture with face paint and a traditional scarf.
