Galaxy's new coach Ruud Gullit, U.S. international Landon Donovan, Sydney coach John Kosmina, captain Tony Popovic and the Australian team's Brazilian midfielder Juninho attended a news conference Sunday morning to talk about the Sydney FC and LA Galaxy exhibition match on Tuesday.
David Beckham says he is close to full fitness and hopes to play the whole 90 minutes.
Football Federation Australia chief executive Ben Buckley has agreed terms with Galaxy officials on a minimum amount of game time for Beckham.
Although the amount of time has not been disclosed local media believe it to be about 55 minutes, barring injury.
David and the Galaxy squad were presented to the crowd during halftime of Sunday evening's A-League match between Sydney and Queensland Roar.
The match on Tuesday at Sydney's Olympic Stadium will be Gullit's first in charge of the Major League Soccer team since being appointed this month. A crowd of 80,000 is expected to attend the game.
Beckham and the Galaxy squad will remain in Australia until Thursday before they head to New Zealand for Saturday's match against the Wellington Phoenix.
