The squad is bursting with talent and potential match-winners but one player stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the greatest footballer on the planet at the moment and there can be little dispute that he is the best born in Europe.
His header in the final of the UEFA Champions League took his tally for the season to 42 and the Manchester United maestro is hungry to keep his stunning form going through the summer.
Ronaldo has shown glimpses of what he can do at international level in the past but he has improved considerably since the last World Cup and is set to terrorise opponents with his pace, power and precision over the coming weeks.
There are a number of familiar faces in the Portugal squad including Ronaldo and Nani, who will both be chasing more silverware after helping Manchester United to a domestic and European double.
Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho are both hugely experienced and the two Chelsea players have been defensive rocks for their national team in recent years.
Chelsea supporters will also have a chance to study new boy Jose Bosingwa in action at right-back before the £16.2million signing from Porto steps out at Stamford Bridge for the start of the next Premier League season.
Scolari has also included former Tottenham striker Helder Postiga, while rising stars such as Miguel Veloso and Joao Moutinho may be worth looking out for after being linked with some of the top English clubs.
