The Egyptian FA decided to apologize to their Spanish counterparts for not playing an international friendly in June because of Egypt's busy calendar, an FA spokesman said on Monday.

The Egyptian national team won't be able to play the game on June 3rd because of the Egyptian Cup semis and final match, Medhat Shalabi told FilGoal.com.

Several Arab and African matches for Egyptian clubs are also scheduled for the same period which makes it hard to head to Spain, he added.

Spain have announced earlier that they will play African Champions Egypt in preparation for the World Cup in Germany next June.
