Some of Oceania’s best football stars play one of their memorable match of their lives when they face star David Beckham and his LA Galaxy team in New Zealand on Saturday.

Fiji despite its status in the region missed the Oceania line-up for a match of a lifetime against one of the greats of the sport.

Fiji islanders have always been given top priority when selecting Oceania sports selections.

Beckham arrived at Auckland Airport in New Zealand to a big welcome from fans this morning.

New Zealand Herald said Beckham wasn't talking to media but after several waiata and a haka performed by Te Waihono A Kupe, he hugged several fans and signed some autographs.

LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena thanked the crowd and the kapa haka group for "such a fabulous welcome".

He said the team was looking forward to their visit to NZ and the game on Saturday.

The crowd then called out to Beckham and he approached some fans to sign autographs and gave one or two a hug.

Beckham shook hands with the kapa haka group before he and his team boarded a bus for Auckland.

Beckham's LA Galaxy will play an Oceania XI at Mt Smart stadium on Saturday.
