On the 9th, a preseason friendly of the 2026 Coupang Play Series between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid was held at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
The two teams that put on a UCL-caliber classic in 2023 meet again in Seoul after three years. Atletico Madrid made a surprise move to sign Lee Kang-in, completing a five-year deal for a transfer fee of €40 million (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 interest from domestic fans.
