Heavy crowds are expected in the Sangam area this evening.
At 8 p.m., the Seoul World Cup Stadium in Mapo-gu will host the second match of the 2026 Coupang Play Series between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid.
Those attending the match or passing through Sangam should be aware of potential traffic congestion.
Coupang Play has advised, "Due to expected heavy traffic near the stadium on match day, we strongly recommend using public transportation." They also noted that refunds on the day of the event will not be available for delays caused by road conditions or parking issues.
The Seoul World Cup Stadium is connected to Line 6 of the subway. Those driving should be cautious, as road access and parking may become increasingly difficult as the match time approaches, making public transport the preferable option.
This match features two prestigious European clubs, and it will be a significant occasion for Lee Kang-in, who will be playing in front of local fans while wearing the Atletico Madrid jersey.
It has been three years since Manchester City and Atletico Madrid last faced each other in Seoul.
The two teams met in the 2023 Coupang Play Series at the same venue, where Atletico Madrid defeated Manchester City 2-1 in a sold-out match.
Manchester City is in South Korea for this year's Coupang Play Series. Following their match against Team K League on August 5 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, they will play Atletico Madrid in their second game today.
In addition to the match, various events are planned for the day. A kickoff ceremony featuring ATEEZ member San is scheduled, and the group Rescene will perform during halftime.
Coupang Play has also urged attendees to prepare for the heat on match day, recommending that they bring water, handheld fans, and hats to stay cool.
The match between Manchester City and Atletico Madrid is set to begin at 8 p.m.
