We will face Team K League – a selection of the best players from Korea’s professional league – in the first match of our pre-season tour of Korea this summer, supported by the Club’s Principal Partner, AIA.

The match kicks off the Coupang Play Series, organised and promoted by Coupang and Pitch International, taking place at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Wednesday 13 July (kick-off time TBC).

It will be the first match to be broadcast live on SPURSPLAY* – the new destination for Club video content, launching this summer. Fans are able to register their interest in subscribing ahead of all the action getting underway.

Our second match in the Coupang Play Series, along with ticketing information for both matches, will be announced in due course.
