Captain Son comes home as Spurs announce Bayern friendly in South Korea
Tottenham Hotspur have officially announced a much-anticipated pre-season friendly against Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich in South Korea this summer.
The North Londoners will rub shoulders with the German giants twice in back-to-back weekends this summer. They will face Bayern in the Korean capital Seoul on August 3, and they will face the Champions League semi-finalists the following weekend in an already announced friendly at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on August 10.
Son leads Spurs to Asia
This summer will mark the fourth time that the club visits South Korea, showing their dedication to the growing fanbase in the country. Since Heung-min Son became Spurs skipper, Spurs will play on Korean soil for the first time.
Alongside South Korea, Tottenham will also be visiting Japan in their pre-season tour, as they have a friendly lineup in the J League World Challenge against Vissel Kobe.
Tottenham executive director Donna-Maria Cullen speaking about Spurs visit to South Korea and the excitement to return to the country with Son wearing the skipper’s arm-bad (via. Standard): “We are delighted to once again be visiting South Korea as part of our pre-season tour of Asia ahead of the 2024–25 season. It is fantastic to have the opportunity to engage with our huge fanbase in the country.
“I know Sonny in particular can’t wait to play again in front of his home fans, and it will be exciting for him to return while representing us as club captain.”
