Egypt head to Spain ahead of friendly game on Tuesday

Egypt’s national team departed Saudi Arabia for Spain on Saturday morning as preparations continue for their upcoming international friendly against Spain on Tuesday at the RCDE Stadium, home of Espanyol.

The Pharaohs opened their build-up to the FIFA World Cup 2026 in convincing fashion, cruising to a 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia on Friday at Jeddah’s Alinma Stadium.

The commanding performance offered an early boost to coach Hossam Hassan, whose side is using this month’s camp to fine-tune ahead of the global tournament.

The meeting with Spain will serve as Egypt’s second and final fixture of the current training camp.

Egypt have been drawn in Group G for the 2026 World Cup, where they will face Iran, New Zealand, and Belgium in the group stage of the competition, set to take place across the United States and Mexico from June 11 to July 19
