Lionel Messi will headline the MLS All-Star roster for the first time when the team faces Liga MX's best at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio, on July 24.
Messi joined Inter Miami CF in July 2023, narrowly missing out on last year's All-Star Weekend. Now, he is set to play alongside Inter Miami teammates Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets when debuting at the event.
Both Messi and Suarez are currently playing at the Copa América with Argentina and Uruguay, respectively.
The 30-player roster, which also features Real Salt Lake forward Chicho Arango, Cucho Hernández of the Crew and LA Galaxy playmaker Riqui Puig, was selected through fan, player and media votes, Columbus Crew manager Wilfried Nancy's selection and two personal picks from MLS commissioner Don Garber.
All four Inter Miami players joined the squad because of an overwhelming amount of votes.
Overall, 18 clubs are represented, with Inter Miami and the Columbus Crew the most represented teams.
The captain of the MLS roster will be decided by a fan vote, with four candidates yet to be named.
This will be the third encounter between MLS and Liga MX All Stars, after 2021 and 2022. MLS beat the Mexican league both previous times, winning in Los Angeles and Minnesota.
"Our previous encounters set high bars for intensity and competition in All-Star Games. The 2024 edition will be a night to remember for Columbus' passionate fans and for audiences around the world watching on MLS Season Pass," said Camilo Durana, MLS executive vice president of properties and events.
All-Stars will participate in a skills challenge, where 10 players from each side compete in several soccer-related tests.
