On the 9th, a preseason friendly in the 2026 Coupang Play Series between Manchester City and Atlético Madrid was held at Seoul World Cup Stadium.

The two teams, which delivered a UCL-level classic in 2023, meet again in Seoul after three years. Atlético Madrid made a surprise move to sign Lee Kang-in on a five-year deal for a transfer fee of €40 million (about 65 billion won), assigning him the No. 7 worn by "legend" Griezmann. This match is Lee Kang-in's debut, wearing the "No. 7" jersey, and domestic fans are riveted.
