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

The two teams, which produced a UCL-level classic in 2023, meet again in Seoul after three years. Atlético Madrid made a surprise signing of 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 shirt of the "legend" Griezmann. This match is Lee Kang-in's debut wearing the "No. 7" jersey, drawing intense attention from domestic fans.
