The defender, who spent last season on loan at Sevilla from Chelsea, was vying with Wigan's Mario Melchiot for the final berth in Van Basten's selection for Austria and Switzerland.

The 26-year-old Boulahrouz was a late addition to Holland's pre-tournament training camp after returning to action after a long period out with a groin injury.

On Sunday, Van Basten cut Denny Landzaat and Sander Boschker from his squad.

Feyenoord midfielder Landzaat and FC Twente goalkeeper Boschker failed to do enough at the training camp to justify a place in the party for the summer showpiece.

Landzaat played for just 11 minutes of Saturday's 3-0 victory over Ukraine while Boschker remained on the bench.

The Oranje kick off their Euro 2008 campaign against world champions Italy on June 9, while France and Romania also stand in their way of a place in the knockout stages.

Holland squad for Euro 2008: Van der Sar (Manchester United), Stekelenburg (Ajax), Timmer (Feyenoord); Bouma (Aston Villa), De Cler (Feyenoord), Heitinga (Ajax), Mathijsen (Hamburg), Melchiot (Wigan), Ooijer (Blackburn); Afellay (PSV Eindhoven), Van Bronckhorst (Feyenoord), Engelaar (FC Twente), De Jong (Hamburg), Sneijder (Real Madrid), Van der Vaart (Hamburg), De Zeeuw (AZ Alkmaar); Babel (Liverpool), Huntelaar (Ajax), Kuyt (Liverpool), Van Nistelrooy (Real Madrid), Van Persie (Arsenal), Robben (Real Madrid), Vennegoor of Hesselink (Celtic).
