Will Lionel Messi finally feature in MLS All-Star Game in 2025?

The much-anticipated game will be played on 24 July.

The MLS All-Star Game is the one event in American soccer that most accurately represents the middle of summer.

The All-Star showcase, which brings together many of the league’s top players to exhibit themselves in a match and a skills competition, has a specific role in the MLS calendar, even though other first divisions throughout the world do not have one.

The best of MLS face the best of Mexico’s Liga MX in the MLS All-Star Game. In the 2024 edition, Liga MX threw away their opponents by a fine margin, 4-1.

MLS All-Stars will take on their Liga MX rivals once again this year. But where does the All-Star Game stand as a fixture now that the Leagues Cup is becoming more significant and MLS is becoming more popular worldwide?

How might the inclusion of a certain Lionel Messi, who was chosen by the supporters to be a member of the squad and may make his MLS ASG debut, alter the perception?

It is unknown if Lionel Messi will take part in the 2025 MLS All-Star Game, which is scheduled for July 24 at Austin’s Q2 Stadium. In 2024, he was also named in the squad but missed out due to an ankle injury sustained in the Copa America final.

Despite the fact that the Argentine was chosen by supporters as one of the 12 stars for the All-Star squad, Inter Miami coach Javier Mascherano expressed his desire for Leo and Jordi Alba to skip the game to prioritise recuperation during a hectic season.

The club are yet to make a final decision regarding the Argentine’s participation in the game. However, left-back Alba would participate in the Skills Challenge.
