Versleijen has selected players in contention for the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games qualification campaign and also members of the Qantas Young Socceroos who will be competing at the AFC U19 Championship 2010.

Versleijen was excited to have an extra opportunity to participate in this historic match and for his players to get match experience.

"We are honoured to be able to contribute to this exciting testimonial match for Kevin Muscat," said Versleijen.

"Kevin has had a prolific football career at domestic and international level and this match is in recognition of his vast achievements. 

"The players that I have selected for this match are being considered for upcoming national team campaigns and their performance may have a bearing on their future selection.

"It's also a great privilege to be part of the first ever football match at this fantastic new venue and I'm sure that my players will rise to the occasion."

The squad will feature two players that competed at the FIFA U20 World Cup in Egypt last year namely Central Coast Mariners defender Sam Gallagher and goal-keeper Dean Bouzanis who is currently contracted to Liverpool FC in England as the only overseas based player in the squad.   

Also appearing will be Netherlands bound players Adam Sarota and Michael Zullo who have recently finalised their transfers from Brisbane Roar to FC Utrecht.
