The Beckham test, also known as the Beckham Rule, was implemented in Major League Soccer (MLS) in 2007 in order to allow teams to sign high-profile players without surpassing the league's salary cap. The rule is named after English soccer star David Beckham, who signed with the LA Galaxy under the designated player rule.
Under the Beckham rule, each MLS team is allowed to sign up to three designated players whose salaries only count partially against the team's salary cap. This allows teams to attract top-tier international talent without exceeding the league's financial restrictions.
The rule has been credited with helping raise the profile of MLS and attracting more international stars to the league. It has also led to increased competition and higher quality of play in the league.
Overall, the Beckham rule has been seen as a successful mechanism for MLS teams to build stronger squads and compete at a higher level on the international stage.
