Manchester City have added two further friendly matches as part of a pre-season trip to South Korea.

City will face K-League All Stars on 5 August and La Liga side Atletico Madrid four days later, with both matches set to take place at the 66,700-capacity Seoul World Cup Stadium.

City had already announced a game against Inter Milan on 1 August in Hong Kong.

Peter Laundy, senior vice president of partnerships at the City Football Group, said the club received an "exceptional welcome" during their visit to Seoul in 2023 when they faced Atletico in a sell-out game.

City face Arsenal in the Community Shield on 16 August and begin their Premier League campaign with a home fixture against Bournemouth on 24 August.
