Manchester City confirm additional fixtures for Asia pre-season tour

Manchester City have confirmed two additional fixtures in Seoul, South Korea as part of the Men’s First Team’s pre-season tour, presented by Experience Abu Dhabi.

City will first face K-League All Stars at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Wednesday 5th August, followed by a rematch of the sell-out 2023 fixture against Atletico Madrid on Sunday 9th August.

Both fixtures are part of the exciting ‘2026 Coupang Play Series’.

This follows confirmation of City’s first pre-season game against Inter Milan on Saturday 1 August in Hong Kong, which was announced in April.

First launched in 2022 with this summer marking its fifth edition, the Coupang Play Series has established itself as Korea’s premier sports festival, hosted and organised by Coupang Play and Pitch International.

Each year, the series brings excitement to football fans through matchups between world-class clubs and special matches against K League All-Stars.

Peter Laundy, Senior Vice President of Partnerships, City Football Group, said: “We are delighted to confirm the final fixtures of Manchester City men’s pre-season tour and we’re incredibly excited to be returning to Seoul – this time for two fixtures.

“We received such an exceptional welcome when we visited in 2023, with a sell-out crowd for our fixture against Atletico Madrid and thousands of fans attending our open training while we were in the city.

“We’re looking forward to an exciting rematch, connecting with our fans in Korea and spending more time in the country this year.”
