🇪🇸 Spain to face Egypt in Qatar after the Finalissima against Argentina | OneFootball

The Spanish national football team has officially confirmed its schedule for the upcoming international break in March 2026. This Monday, the RFEF announced that Spain will face Egypt in a high-profile friendly match to be played in Qatar, a venue that brings back great memories for the national squad.

This match will serve as a strategic litmus test, as it will take place just four days after the much-anticipated 'Finalissima'. In that previous fixture, Spain will face Argentina to decide who is the best among the champions of Europe and America, an official title that will set the tone for the training camp.

The chosen opponent, Egypt, will not make things easy at all. The African side arrives in exceptional form after establishing themselves as one of the current Africa Cup semifinalists. Their physical style and competitive ability will be the perfect test to measure the depth of the Spanish bench after the demanding match against the Albiceleste.

This clash marks the reunion of two teams with very little shared history. In fact, the only official precedent between the two sides dates back to June 3, 2006. On that occasion, the Martínez Valero stadium in Elche witnessed a 2-0 victory for Spain, with goals from Raúl González and José Antonio Reyes.
