Tottenham announce Team K-League friendly to kick off two-game South Korea pre-season tour

Tottenham will face a K-League all-star team to kick off their summer tour of South Korea.

The club’s third visit to the Asian nation, the home of winger Son-Heung min, will be their first overseas pre-season trip since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

Seoul World Cup Stadium will host the two teams on July 13 with the kick-off time and a second friendly to be announced in due course.

“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,” a club statement read.

“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.

“Tottenham are currently the most watched and best-supported overseas soccer team in South Korea and home to two of the country’s most loved players, Heung-Min Son and So-hyun Cho, who are men’s and women’s national team captains respectively.”
