Jacobs, who has represented MGB as a player at previous International Games, will be assisted by Elan Ovits and former Premier League star Mikele Leigertwood.
The experienced trio will aim to better that of previous years where they took home bronze in 2009 and 2013.
Jacobs said: “Nobody is going to hand us a medal. It takes a lot of hard work, determination, talent and most importantly excellent team spirit on and off the pitch.
“We are certainly on the right path with an extremely talented squad of players, several of whom have represented MGB in previous Maccabiah and European Maccabi Games.
