The unknown group of youngsters aims to steal the limelight from the first team, who almost disappointed millions of Egyptians in the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.
Winning the opening game could boost Egypt's campaign on home soil this summer, so believes the team's star Mohamed Talaat.
"We know taking three points from our first game is key, but I'm also confident we'll play to win in all our games," the Ahli forward said.
"The only match we're thinking about at the moment is the one against Trinidad and Tobago - a very fit and skilful side.
"There'll be a big crowd there, looking for us to show our potential and we need to perform well to make sure they keep turning out to support us."
Talaat is expected to spearhead Egypt's attack, probably alongside Zamalek's Ahmed Fathi 'Boogi.
The 20-year-old is looking forward to make his mark on the game by scoring the competition's maiden goal at Borg Al-Arab Stadium.
"My dream would be to score the first goal and for all to go well in this tournament. That would help me achieve my objective of doing well on the world stage," he added.
Surprise
On the other hand, Trinidad boss Zoran Vranes is aware that facing the hosts in the opening game is no easy task, even so he has a plan for the young Pharaohs.
"The match will be very difficult, I'm happy with our fitness level and confident we can deal with the crowd," said the Serbian.
"We will try to slow the game down, soak up the early pressure and then see if we can come into our own. I think we can surprise them."
