Other top names include America's Ghana-born teenager Freddy Adu as well as Liverpool and Holland midfielder Ryan Babel.

Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Holland and the USA will all take part in the ING Cup from 30 July until 2 August as their final preparation for the Beijing Olympics, which begin five days later.

"Olympic fever is truly kicking in, so we expect great crowds at the Hong Kong Stadium on both days," said Hong Kong Football Association chairman Brian Leung.

"The Netherlands, Cameroon, USA and Ivory Coast will be among the strongest teams in China and feature many world-class players."

The Dutch are one of the favourites for the Olympic crown, having won back-to-back Uefa Under-21 Championship titles in 2006 and 2007.

Cameroon have a strong pedigree in the Olympics, having won gold at Sydney 2000.

This year's squad includes 20-year-old Alex Song, one of Arsene Wenger's exciting young talents at Arsenal and the nephew of Rigobert Song, Cameroon's most capped player.

Defender Andre Bikey, whose impressive performances for English club Reading led to his inclusion in the senior squad for the Africa Cup of Nations, is also included.

One player who could prove to be a star of the Olympics is 19-year-old American Adu, who joined Portuguese club Benfica last August.

Nigeria are Africa's other representatives in the men's tournament at the Beijing Olympics.
