Barcelona Storm Looms as Egypt and Spain Target World Cup Prep

Barcelona Clash Set to Light Up World Cup Prep

The Egypt national team's clash with Spain is buzzing with huge fanfare ahead of the friendly as part of World Cup 2026 preparations.

Egypt will meet Spain on Tuesday evening at RCDE Stadium, the home of Espanyol.

According to Spanish daily OkDiario, tickets have sold out, signaling a massive turnout as the stadium is expected to be filled to the rafters for the eagerly awaited friendly.

Barcelona is buzzing, especially with Spain returning to Catalonia after a four-year absence since their last appearance in 2022 against Albania.

The report adds that the Spanish federation was initially worried about weak attendance, but interest surged from the moment tickets went on sale, pleasing the officials who organized the match.

Meanwhile, Egypt's delegation arrived in Spain from Jeddah after a seven-hour journey, preparing for the clash, following their 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia in the latest friendly.

The delegation is accompanied by several federation officials as part of serious preparations for this stern test for the Pharaohs before major upcoming fixtures.

P.S. If Salah scores, the fans will celebrate like it's a World Cup and a payday at once. If not, the scoreboard still makes a great doorstop.

Also, Barca's stadium is so loud that even the echo wants a selfie.
