The Felix Sanchez-coached Asian champions will take on Luxembourg in their first match on March 24 at the Nagyerdei Stadion in Hungary. Their second match will be against Azerbaijan on March 27.

Qatar, the hosts of the global football spectacle next year, have already qualified for the tournament, but Al Annabi are taking part in the European stage with the hope of getting match practice in the lead up to the event.
