Spain host Egypt in an International Friendly on Tuesday, 31 March 2026, with kick-off at 8:00 PM (WAT). Euro 2024 champions Spain face Africa’s most storied football nation in what should be an entertaining World Cup warm-up fixture.
Match Preview
Spain are the reigning European champions and one of the favourites for the 2026 World Cup. Under Luis de la Fuente, La Roja have rediscovered their best football — attacking, technically brilliant, and full of young talent including Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Pedri. At home in Spain, they are devastating and this friendly is a chance to fine-tune their World Cup preparations against African opposition.
Egypt are one of Africa’s most successful football nations historically and have qualified for the 2026 World Cup. Mohamed Salah remains their talisman and one of the best players in the world — his presence alone makes Egypt dangerous against any opposition. Egypt will use this friendly as vital preparation against top European competition before the World Cup.
Our Prediction
Spain are the clear favourites at home but Salah’s presence means Egypt always carry a threat. We back Spain to win comfortably but Egypt to score at least once through their Liverpool superstar.
