Objectives of the match against Egypt
The matchup with Egypt represents a different test in the preparation. It allows the technical staff to test tactical options and adjust the group's performance against a rival from another confederation, with football characteristics different from European ones. It is a valuable opportunity for players to adapt to a different playing style before future official commitments.

A demanding schedule away from home
While fans begin to think about the next big competition, the national team must deal with a schedule that takes them to play thousands of kilometers from Spanish territory. Concentrating tournaments and friendlies in places like Qatar poses a logistical and adaptation challenge, although it also allows the team to compete in top-level facilities and controlled conditions. The immediate focus is on making the most of these two matches on Qatari soil. 🏟️
