Manchester City Returns to Seoul for 2026 Asia Tour

Why Seoul Matters for City

Manchester City’s last trip to Seoul in 2023 produced a memorable friendly against Atletico Madrid, with sky‑blue shirts crowding the streets and the stadium. Korean supporters once again turned out in force, creating an electric atmosphere for the Blues. This visit set the stage for the club’s expanded Asia schedule, which now includes a full 2026 pre‑season tour. The warm reception and high‑profile opponent hinted at the growing interest for City in key Asian markets.

City’s 2026 itinerary kicks off in Hong Kong on Saturday 1 August, when they face Italian champions Inter. The match starts at 12:30 UK time and marks the first leg of a busy three‑game swing. After Hong Kong, the squad heads north to Seoul for two fixtures just a few days later, wrapping up the Asian leg of the tour.
