How to watch the Club Friendlies match between K-League All Stars and Newcastle United, as well as kick-off time and team news.
Newcastle United kick off their whirlwind visit to South Korea on Wednesday with a clash against a K-League All-Star XI in Suwon, eager to get their pre-season preparations back on track. The Magpies are coming off back-to-back friendly losses and will be keen to steady the ship as they gear up for the 2025-26 campaign.
After ending their long wait for silverware and booking a Champions League return last season, Newcastle haven’t quite enjoyed the smooth off-season many fans were hoping for. Recruitment has hit a few snags, and murmurs surrounding Alexander Isak’s future have cast a shadow over the camp. The Swedish striker is notably absent from the tour squad, reportedly nursing a “minor thigh issue,” though speculation continues to mount that his Tyneside chapter may soon close.
With Callum Wilson already gone following his free transfer exit, Will Osula looks set to lead the line again, just as he did in the narrow 3-2 defeat to Arsenal. Newcastle had opened their pre-season with a win over Carlisle United but were then hammered 4-0 by Celtic before the setback against the Gunners. Manager Eddie Howe will be eager to see a sharper display in South Korea.

On the other side, Team K-League will showcase some of their standout talents, headlined by Lee Tae-seok and Oberdan, both of Pohang Steelers, who topped a recent fan vote. Oberdan will line up in midfield with Kim Jin-gyu (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors) and Darijan Bojanic (Ulsan HD), while Jeon Jin-woo, Lee Dong-gyeong, and Albanian forward Jasir Asani will form a dynamic frontline. In goal, South Korea’s veteran stopper Jo Hyeon-woo, a World Cup hero in 2018, adds top-level experience between the sticks.
Newcastle United team news
One bright spark in recent outings has been new signing Anthony Elanga, who found the net on Sunday and is in contention to start on the right flank. He’ll compete with Harvey Barnes and Jacob Murphy, while local favourite Seung-Soo Park could also feature off the bench. At the back, Lewis Hall is now fully fit after a foot injury and should be available, leaving Isak as the sole absentee.
