Senegal have been drawn against Libya in the opening game of the four-team international invitational tournament starting on 28 April.

Hosts Nigeria will play Jordan in the other match with the respective winners clashing in the final on 30 April.

All the games will be played in Lagos.

On Thursday, Nigeria named a squad made up entirely of home-based players for the tournament.

The three African teams are expected to use the competition as warm-up for the 2006 World Cup and Nations Cup qualifiers which get underway in June.

Senegal have been drawn in Group 1, Libya in Group 3 and Nigeria in Group 4.

The winners of the Lagos-based tournament are guaranteed 50,000 dollars prize money with the runners-up receiving 30,000 dollars.

Kenya had been expected to feaeture in the tournament, but the confusion within their football federation seems to have ruled out their participation.

Last year Nigeria won a similar tournament which included Cameroon, Ghana and Iran.
