Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur arrived at Incheon International Airport in Incheon on Sunday ahead of two exhibition games in Seoul this week for the 2024 Coupang Play Series.
The team had flown in from Japan, where they played an exhibition match against J1 League side Vissel Kobe at the Japan National Stadium in Tokyo on Saturday, beating the Japanese club 3-2.
Spurs and Korean national team captain Son Heung-min, along with Spurs defender Pedro Porro and 16-year-old midfielder Mikey Moore, scored in that game — the club's first match in Japan in 33 years.
Son was at the front of the pack as the team walked through the arrivals gate in Incheon.
Spurs will face a sort-of all-star K League squad on Wednesday and meet the Bundesliga's Bayern Munich on Saturday at Seoul World Cup Stadium in western Seoul.
