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

The two teams, which delivered a UCL-level classic in 2023, meet again in Seoul after three years. Atletico Madrid made a surprise signing of Lee Kang-in, agreeing to a five-year contract for a transfer fee of 40 million euros (about 65 billion won) and giving him the No. 7 worn by "legend" Griezmann. This match is Lee Kang-in's debut wearing the "No. 7" jersey, drawing intense attention from domestic fans.
