On the 9th, a 2026 Coupang Play Series preseason friendly between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid was held at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The two teams, which played a UEFA Champions League–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 €40 million transfer fee (about 65 billion won) and assigning him the No. 7 worn by "legend" Griezmann. This match is Lee Kang-in's debut wearing the "No. 7" jersey, drawing intense interest from domestic fans.
