Newcastle United are set to step on Korean soil this summer.
According to an exclusive report released on the 3rd (in Korean time), the British newspaper iNews stated, “Newcastle United plans to visit Singapore and South Korea as part of their lucrative pre-season tour. They will travel to Asia towards the end of July and participate in three matches. One game is scheduled to take place at the 55,000-capacity Singapore National Stadium. This marks Newcastle’s inaugural appearance in South Korea.”
After the top six clubs in the English Premier League, Newcastle stands as the next highly esteemed team. They have claimed the first division title four times and secured the FA Cup six times. This year, they demonstrated their ambition to regain prestige by defeating Liverpool and claiming victory in the Carabao Cup.
Korean football enthusiasts recognize this team as the former club of Alan Shearer, who holds the record for the most goals scored in Premier League history. Additionally, South Korea’s legendary player Ki Sung-yueng represented the squad during the period spanning from the 2018–2019 season through the end of the 2019–2020 campaign.
Newcastle United has been expanding under the ownership of a group headed by Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is managed by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud after acquiring the club in 2021. With substantial backing from Saudi financial resources, Newcastle is rapidly amassing strength. Key figures currently playing for them consist of Allan Saint-Maximin, Sven Botman, and Bruno Guimarães. Furthermore, manager Eddie Howe ranks among the elite coaching talents within the English Premier League.
A number of major football clubs, along with Newcastle, are anticipated to tour South Korea this coming summer. According to an article published in February by the UK’s Daily Mail, Spurs’ journey across Asia proves highly lucrative because of star player Son Heung-min’s immense fanbase in East Asia. Considering these factors, Tottenham might plan another stopover in South Korea after their previous visit. Additionally, discussions about a match in Hong Kong have been initiated; hence, Tottenham could indeed return to Korea later this year.
Barcelona, considered the premier club globally, is presently negotiating to hold the match in Daegu. Starting from 2022, major teams have regularly come to South Korea as part of the Coupang Play series. Clubs such as Tottenham, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have made visits.
