Justin Bieber wants One Direction to play in celebrity football team

Justin Bieber has revealed that he wants to start a celebrity football team in the US.

The singer told the Daily Star that he has been playing a lot of soccer recently and is keen to start a celebrity team which could play around four games a season.

He said that One Direction have agreed to play some part in the team, whilst he also wants England football legend David Beckham to coach. He said:

"I've been playing a lot of soccer over the last two or three years. I've been really enjoying it. I know there's an LA celebrity team that Robbie Williams was in, but I am looking to start a team for the younger guys. The One Direction guys said that they'll play and also Lil Bow Wow."

He continued: "There's only one guy we want to coach the team and that is David Beckham. It's not like we will be playing a game every week. It will, in reality probably only be about three or four games a season. I am going to personally ask David myself and I'm really hoping he will say yes. And we will play only 10 minutes from his house."
