Upcoming Friendly Match: Salah to Face Yamal for the First Time as Egypt Takes on Spain

Spanish media reports indicate that the national team of Spain will play against Egypt in a friendly match on March 30, 2026, in Qatar, as both teams prepare for the 2026 World Cup.

According to the popular program "El Chiringuito" on the platform "X", this match will feature Egyptian star Mohamed Salah of Liverpool and promising young Spanish player Lamine Yamal from FC Barcelona, marking their first meeting at either club or national team levels, generating significant anticipation among football fans worldwide.

The match is scheduled just three days after Spain's encounter with Argentina in the "Finalissima" at Lusail Stadium in Doha, where the European champions will face the South American champions.

It is worth noting that the last friendly match between Egypt and Spain took place in 2006, ending in a 2-0 victory for Spain. The Egyptian team recently qualified for the final stages of the 2026 World Cup in North America, having missed the 2022 edition in Qatar.

This match presents a prime opportunity to witness the much-anticipated clash between one of the biggest stars in Arab and global football and the emerging Spanish talent making his mark with FC Barcelona, promising excitement and potential surprises.
