The Egyptian national team will take on their Spanish counterparts this Tuesday at the RCDE Stadium in Cornellà-El Prat, home of Espanyol Barcelona, in Catalonia, in a prestigious international friendly.

This clash serves as a genuine dress rehearsal for both sides, eager to gauge their form—both physically and technically—with the World Cup finals looming this summer.

What time does Egypt – Spain kick off?

The Pharaohs will challenge La Roja on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, at Barcelona's RCDE Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 19:00 GMT.

Head-to-head history

Egypt and Spain have met four times. The record favors La Roja, with three victories and one draw, while Egypt has yet to claim a win.

Their first encounter dates back to 1955, with a heavy 5-1 defeat for Egypt in the Mediterranean Cup. The Egyptians then lost again in 1957 (1-0) in the same competition.

In 1963, Egypt managed a 1-1 draw at the Mediterranean Games, before succumbing once more in their most recent meeting, a 2-0 friendly loss in 2006.

The game will be broadcast on Egyptian channel ON Sport 1.
