Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed an exciting pre-season fixture against Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy, set to take place in Seoul, South Korea, this summer. The match will form part of Spurs' preparations for the 2024-25 season under manager Ange Postecoglou.
The friendly, scheduled for 24 July at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, promises to be a thrilling encounter. Tottenham's South Korean captain Son Heung-min is expected to be a major draw for local fans, adding extra significance to the clash.
Postecoglou's Preparations Take Shape
This high-profile friendly follows Tottenham's announcement of another pre-season match against Newcastle United in Melbourne, Australia, on 22 May. The back-to-back fixtures in Asia and Australia demonstrate the club's commitment to engaging with its global fanbase while building fitness ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
LA Galaxy, one of MLS's most successful clubs with five league titles, will provide stern opposition for Postecoglou's side. The California-based team boasts its own star power, including former Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig.
Homecoming for Son
The Seoul fixture represents a special homecoming for Tottenham's talismanic forward Son Heung-min, who enjoys hero status in his native South Korea. The match is likely to attract significant attention from Korean media and fans alike.
Tottenham last toured Asia in 2019, when they visited Singapore and Shanghai. This summer's itinerary suggests a strategic focus on key commercial markets where the club has strong supporter bases.
The pre-season schedule comes at an important time for Postecoglou, who will be looking to build on his first season in charge and implement his philosophy more thoroughly with a full pre-season at his disposal.
