Stuart Pearce has left the 37-year-old out of his 18-man football squad, instead naming Ryan Giggs, Craig Bellamy and Micah Richards as the three over-23 players.
The decision has been widely criticised given Beckham's role in the initial bidding process, but London 2012 chairman Lord Coe will not cut the LA Galaxy superstar loose altogether.
He said: "David has been an extraordinary supporter, probably our No 1 supporter, of the Games from the very beginning and is keen to continue his enthusiastic support right to the end. He really gets this.
"He is from east London and knows how important the Games and sport are to young people.
"He is a great role model and we are lucky to have such an advocate. I will be talking to him about a Games time role."
