Seoul: For the third time in four years, Tottenham Hotspur will play preseason matches in South Korea this summer. According to Yonhap News Agency, South Korean streaming service Coupang Play announced that the North London Premier League club will participate in the “2025 Coupang Play Series,” its annual event featuring popular European sides for summer exhibitions.

Captained by South Korean icon Son Heung-min, Spurs also participated in the inaugural edition of the Coupang Play series in 2022 and played in the country again in 2024. Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester City, Atletico Madrid, and Sevilla FC have also played in South Korea on Coupang Play’s invitations.

Coupang Play stated it is awaiting the final approval from the Korea Football Association on the match schedules and venues. It plans to announce another Premier League club as an additional participant in the annual series once the paperwork is complete.

Spurs have had a challenging Premier League season, ranking 17th among 20 clubs with 38 points from 11 wins, five draws, and 21 losses. They have set franchise records for the most losses and the fewest points in a Premier League season. However, they still have a chance to secure a trophy as they prepare to face Manchester United in the final of the UEFA Europa League in Spain on Wednesday.
