Real's Beckham set for Spanish bow against Valencia

David Beckham's first match as a Real Madrid player in Spain should come on August 17 away to Valencia.

Real announced on Friday they had accepted an invitation to play against Valencia in their traditional Orange Trophy pre-season friendly at Mestalla.

Beckham will almost certainly make his Real debut on the club's current tour of the Far East.

But the Valencia clash will be the first chance to see him in action in Spain since his move from Manchester United for a fee of up to 35 million euros.
