The Qantas Under 23s will meet Jordan next Wednesday before a second home match against Saudi Arabia on March 28. The team will conclude their home fixtures with a match against Iran on May 16.

The Australian team commenced their Group D fixtures with a scoreless draw against Iran last week in Tehran.

The two top teams from the group will progress to a final stage of three groups of four, with only the group winners to represent Asia at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Australia last month defeated Chinese Taipei 12-0 on aggregate to advance from the preliminary stage of qualifying.

The Australian squad is filled with young stars of the Hyundai A-League which last month included Adelaide United-s Nathan Burns, Robert Cornthwaite and Bruce Djite, plus the likes of Mark Milligan and Kristian Sarkies who have already appeared for the Socceroos.
