Tottenham Club Visits Korea in July... Son Heung-min Returns to Homeland with Teammates

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheolhyun] Coupang announced on the 16th that Tottenham Hotspur FC (Tottenham) will visit Korea this July at the invitation of Coupang and Pitch International and participate in the 'Coupang Play Series' matches.

Coupang decided to host this Korea tour in collaboration with Pitch International, a long-time partner of Tottenham, to provide an opportunity for Tottenham, who is loved by Korean football fans, to communicate with domestic fans. The Tottenham club plans to play two matches in the 'Coupang Play Series' organized by Coupang Play. Detailed information about the matches will be announced later.

Tottenham is the club of Son Heung-min and Cho So-hyun, who are captains of the South Korean men's and women's national football teams, respectively. In particular, Son Heung-min has grown into a world-class player since joining Tottenham in 2015.

Currently, there are a total of four official Tottenham fan clubs active in Korea: Korea Spurs, Daegu Spurs, Gangwon-do Spurs, and Boryeong Spurs. The Tottenham club plans to actively communicate with fans during their visit to Korea. Kim Seonghan, General Director of Coupang Play, said, "During the Korea tour in July, we will fully showcase Tottenham's wonderful performance through Coupang Play."

Son Heung-min said, "I am very excited to visit my homeland this summer with my Tottenham teammates. Most of my teammates have not yet been to Korea, so I really look forward to seeing how they will react to the passion of Korean fans and the cheering atmosphere filling the stadium during the matches."

Since its launch in December 2020, Coupang Play has established itself as a leading digital platform for live football broadcasts in Korea. It digitally broadcasts matches of four players including Son Heung-min and overseas players Lee Kang-in (Real Mallorca), Hwang Ui-jo (FC Girondins de Bordeaux), and Kim Min-jae (Fenerbah?e SK). Based on the official partnership with the Korea Football Association signed in November last year, Coupang Play will sponsor the national teams until August 2025 and contribute to the development of Korean football.
