The Czechs open the Nov. 15-18 tournament against the United Arab Emirates and then will face either Azerbaijan or Iraq.
Czech Republic coach Michal Bilek, who was appointed last month after the Czechs failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, named five newcomers in the 21-man squad, with only three who played more than 10 international games.
Bilek said he planned to rejuvenate the squad with young players.
Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech and Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky, who Bilek said have minor health problems, were not included Friday. Also, striker Milan Baros is injured.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Jaroslav Drobny (Hertha Berlin), Tomas Grigar (Teplice)
Defenders: Roman Hubnik (Sparta Prague), Ondrej Kusnir (Sparta Prague), David Limbersky (Plzen), David Rozehnal (Hamburger SV), Tomas Sivok (Besiktas), Jan Simunek (Wolfsburg)
Midfielders: Adam Hlousek (Slavia Prague), Mario Holek (Dnipropetrovsk), Mario Licka (Banik Ostrava), Marek Matejovsky (Reading), Jaroslav Plasil (Bordeaux), Daniel Pudil (Genk), Radek Sirl (Zenit St. Petersburg), Michal Svec (SC Heerenveen)
Forwards: Jan Blazek (Liberec), Martin Fillo (Viking Stavanger), Tomas Necid (CSKA Moscow), Michal Papadopulos (SC Heerenveen), Vaclav Sverkos (Sochaux)
