 David Beckham will take on his biggest footballing challenge yet when he squares up to six giant sumo wrestlers in a new TV adverts for Pepsi.

The England captain takes to the field with the likes of Manchester United team-mate Juan Veron, Brazil's Rivaldo and France's Emmanuel Petit for a game with a difference.

On the opposing side are six giant wrestlers who, despite their size, demonstrate a range of ball skills.

Who wins the match is being kept a secret until the launch of the advert in May to tie in with the World Cup.

Beckham is among the stars in the Pepsi first 11 team, worth more than £175m between them, who agree to take on the sumo wrestlers for the prize of a fridge full of the soft drink.

The commercial's director, Tarsem Singh, has previously worked on box office smash hit movie The Cell, starring Jennifer Lopez, and the award winning video for REM's Losing my Religion.

The full team is: David Beckham - England and Manchester United; Juan Veron - Argentina and Manchester United; Roberto Carlos - Brazil and Real Madrid; Dwight Yorke - Trinidad & Tobago and Manchester United; Rivaldo - Brazil and Barcelona; Edgar Davids - Holland and Juventus; Gianluigi Buffon - Italy and Juventus; Emmanuel Petit - France and Chelsea; Rui Costa - Portugal and AC Milan; Raul Gonzalez - Spain and Real Madrid; Pavel Nedved - Czech Republic and Juventus.

The princess of pop, Britney Spears who has caught the eye of a string of eligible men including Britain's Prince William, said she looked forward to meeting soccer hunk Beckham later this month to film a Pepsi commercial for the World Cup.

Spears will have more than just Beckham to assist her during filming of the new soft drink commercial.

England football captain David Beckham is at the centre of a "Cola War" between the world's leading manufacturers of the soft drink. The Manchester United midfielder has been made the star of Coca-Cola's World Cup advertising campaign. But he is also featuring in a World Cup-based campaign for rival Pepsi - who pay him an estimated £1m a year to advertise their product.

Coca-Cola is able to use the 26-year-old footballer, despite his contract to market Pepsi, because of its multi-million pound sponsorship of the England football team, said The Sun. Andrew Coker, of Coca-Cola, told the newspaper it was "marvellous" to be able to feature Beckham on the special-edition bottle.

 "We talked about various promotional activities with the FA and this was agreed on," he said.

It is understood that Coca-Cola is able to use the England captain as long as two other players are featured. So the new Coca-Cola bottles, which promote this summer's competition in Japan and South Korea, will also feature Beckham's Old Trafford team-mate Paul Scholes and Liverpool youngster Steven Gerrard.
