David Beckham announced Monday that the 2012 MLS Cup will be his last game in Major League Soccer for the LA Galaxy.

In a statement Beckham said:

"I've had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy, however, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career. I don't see this as the end of my relationship with the league (MLS) as my ambition is to be part of the ownership structure in the future."

Beckham signed with the Galaxy in 2007 from Real Madrid and lead LA to three MLS Cup berths and one MLS Cup trophy. The 37 year-old midfielder will try to win his second MLS Cup on Saturday, December 1st when the LA Galaxy play the Houston Dynamo at the Home Depot Center (4:30pm ET, ESPN, Telefutura).
