The King Abdullah II Cup (KAC) kicked off its seventh year on Friday with eight teams competing for the title, local daily Jordan Times reported.
Jordan is scheduled to play against Egypt, Syria and Morocco in Group 1 while Group 2 consists of Tunisia, Qatar, Kuwait and Cyprus after Lebanon pulled out following their elimination from the Olympic qualifiers.
Jordan's youth coach Munster Abul Tayyeb will lead the lineup which will be a mix of seniors and mostly U-23 team members.
Saudi Arabia won the title in 2002 followed by Egypt in 2003, Jordan in 2004, Lebanon in 2005 and Lebanon's Riyadi Club in 2006. Jordan beat Tunisia last year to win the title for the second time.
