The friendly match against Juventus was hosted by South Korean sports agency TheFasta on 26 July 2019. The K League Federation defined that this match wasn't official All-Star Game, but they cooperated to accomplish the match. It was scheduled to kick-off at 20:00, but it was delayed for 50 minutes because Juventus players and staff arrived late at the stadium. This match caused controversy in South Korea due to Cristiano Ronaldo who disdained the contract by refusing the signing event and sitting on the bench throughout the game.
