Following the disappointing cancellation of the highly anticipated Finalissima against Argentina due to geopolitical tensions, Spain have rapidly reorganised their March international schedule. La Roja will now face Egypt in a thrilling friendly, stepping in after a previously planned tournament in Qatar was also abandoned, ensuring crucial preparation ahead of the World Cup.According to Spanish outlet Marca, Egypt have officially accepted an invitation from the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to play a friendly on March 31. The Pharaohs' head coach, Hossam Hassan, approved the proposal to face Luis de la Fuente’s European champions in Spain. This agreement rescues the international window for both nations after their scheduled friendly tournament in Doha, Qatar, was cancelled. The Egyptian Football Association confirmed they are finalising travel arrangements to test themselves against La Roja, with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah expected to be the star attraction. A venue is expected shortly.Before finalising the agreement with the North African side, the RFEF had already acted swiftly to secure a crucial fixture against Serbia on March 27. This match will take place at Villarreal’s Estadio de la Ceramica, giving local fans a chance to see the national team. Serbia found themselves in the exact same predicament as Spain, having been left without fixtures due to the sudden collapse of the Qatari event. By accepting the Spanish invitation, the Balkan nation salvaged their break and will now play two warm-up games against Spain and Saudi Arabia ahead of their competitive cycle.On Sunday, UEFA announced the cancellation of the 2026 Finalissima between Spain and Argentina, originally scheduled for March 27 in Qatar. The governing body stated that the current political situation in the region made it impossible to host the event. Fans missed out on seeing Lamine Yamal face his idol, Lionel Messi. Despite UEFA exploring multiple alternatives - including a Santiago Bernabeu fixture, a two-legged tie, or a neutral European venue - Argentina rejected all options. The South Americans, who won the previous edition by beating Italy 3-0, counter-proposed playing exclusively on March 31, which proved unfeasible for Spain.Add GOAL.com as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reportingWith the March friendlies fully resolved, both nations will use these upcoming fixtures as their final preparation before the 2026 World Cup in North America.
