Lenovo has announced a global partnership with David Beckham.

The collaboration builds on Lenovo’s expanding role in global football, including its position as the Official Technology Partner of FIFA World Cup 2026 and the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027.

This first of its kind Lenovo partnership will see David Beckham participating in Lenovo’s work on sports-focused AI-driven solutions.

Beckham will also feature in Lenovo’s upcoming global marketing campaign, due to go live in May, one month before the start of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Beckham comments: “Lenovo is a global leader with a proven track record on the world’s biggest stages. I am proud to partner with Lenovo for the FIFA World Cup and beyond.

“Football will always be defined by talent, instinct, hard work and the unforgettable moments that make the game special.

“Now AI and data are helping us to understand the sport more deeply – shaping how players and coaches prepare and how fans connect with the game. I look forward to learning more about Lenovo’s cutting-edge work which is opening up new ideas and expanding access to the game.”

Lenovo CEO and chairman Yuanqing Yang, adds: “David is not only a global figure across football, business, and culture, but is someone who understands the power of innovation to transform the world. That makes him the perfect partner to help us demonstrate how Smarter AI can drive better life and more efficient work for all.”
