According to several Spanish media outlets, a project is currently under consideration to organize a friendly match between the national teams of Spain and Egypt during the next international break in March.

La Roja is gearing up for the Finalissima showdown against Argentina, the Copa América champions, on March 27—a prestigious clash pitting the winners of the European and South American continental competitions against each other.

Under the guidance of manager Luis de la Fuente, Spain is looking to take advantage of its training camp in Qatar to play a second friendly match, as part of preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

According to Spanish daily Sport, the Egyptian national team is among the main options to face Spain in Doha. The presence of global superstar Mohamed Salah would add major sporting and media appeal to the fixture.

The match could take place on March 30 or 31, shortly after the game against Argentina, as both teams ramp up their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, which will be held in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

However, the official confirmation of this match-up still depends on UEFA's final announcement regarding the organization of the Finalissima and the finalized match schedule.
