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

The two teams, which staged a UEFA Champions League–caliber classic in 2023, meet again in Seoul after three years. Atlético Madrid made a surprise move to sign Lee Kang-in, agreeing to a five-year deal for a transfer fee of €40 million (about 65 billion won) and giving him the No. 7 once worn by "legend" Griezmann. This match is drawing intense attention from domestic fans as Lee Kang-in's debut, in which he will wear the "No. 7" jersey.
