'Legend' Andres Iniesta is set to hold a special farewell stage in Seoul ahead of his new beginning as a coach.

'2026 Champions Impact in Seoul,' featuring legends from Barcelona and Liverpool, will take place at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 6 p.m. on June 6.

On that day, Iniesta is expected to wear the Barcelona jersey, marking what is likely his final appearance on the field.

According to recent foreign media reports, Iniesta is scheduled to take over as head coach of Gulf United FC, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE). Once he officially takes charge of the team, it will be difficult to see him play as a player in events such as legend matches for the foreseeable future.

Iniesta was a key midfielder who led FC Barcelona through its golden era and was the main figure who scored a magical goal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup final in South Africa, bringing the trophy back to his country. With his unique exceptional game control and precise ball handling, he has been loved by football fans around the world for a long time.

This visit to Korea is drawing the attention of football fans worldwide as a precious opportunity to see Iniesta's on-field play firsthand before he moves to the bench.

Yoo Hyun-jeong, a director at the organizer Olive Creative, stated, "Iniesta is more than just a star player to football fans; he is an icon symbolizing an era of football." She added, "With his appointment as a coach approaching, it will be difficult to see him play on the field for the foreseeable future, so this stage with Korean fans will be an emotional moment beyond imagination."

"Furthermore, in line with the meaningful stage of a legend who has left a significant mark on the history of world football, we are doing our best to provide fans who visit the venue with special memories they will never forget," she added.

Meanwhile, tickets for '2026 Champions Impact in Seoul' can be booked through the leisure platform NOL (Yanolja).
