Foppe de Haan, coach of the Dutch Olympic team, has named three PSV players, Ismail Aissati, Dirk Marcellis, Otman Bakkal, and Nordin Amrabat, who will join PSV during the summer transfer window, in his 35-man provisional squad, including four dispensation players.

De Haan will be allowed to include three dispensation players in his squad. He has called up four of them: sc Heerenveen striker Gerald Sibon and FC Twente defender Rob Wielaert, both of them former PSV players, Feyenoord's leading scorer Roy Makaay and FC Twente defender Edson Braafheid. One of them will be dropped from the final squad. Former PSV winger Roy Beerens has also been called up to the provisional squad of the Dutch Olympic team. The group will eventually be trimmed down to 22 players. The final squad of the Dutch Olympic team will be announced after Holland coach Marco van Basten has named his final list of 23 players for the Euro 2008.
