Johannesburg - World Cup organisers will talk to David Beckham about having a role at the tournament's opening ceremony.
Organising committee chief executive Danny Jordaan said there have already been indications that Beckham will travel to South Africa with England's squad.
The midfielder has been ruled out the tournament after tearing his Achilles' tendon playing for AC Milan.
Jordaan said on Thursday that Beckham would promote England's 2018 World Cup bid in South Africa and said "we will talk to him when he gets here" about the opening ceremony.
Beckham's presence in Soweto on June 11 could be a massive boost for organisers, who have experienced disappointing ticket sales for world football's biggest event.
