Liga MX has officially unveiled the lineup that will represent the league at the 2026 MLS All-Star Game, set to take place on Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The announcement marks a significant turnover, with eight newcomers stepping in to replace earlier call‑ups, reshaping the squad that will face the league’s brightest stars.
Among the fresh additions are goalkeepers Carlos Acevedo and Alexei Domínguez, defenders Omar Campos and Jesús Garza, midfielders Luis Gabriel Rey and Carlos Moreno, and forwards Salomón Rondon and Javier Ruiz, each bringing a mix of domestic experience and international pedigree.
Veteran presence remains strong, as four All‑Stars — Carlos Acevedo, Israel Reyes, Jesús Gallardo and Erik Lira — who have previously featured on the world stage, are also included in the roster.
A New Era of Talent
Elías Montiel earned his spot after being hand‑picked by Mexican Football Federation Commissioner Mikel Arriola, underscoring the personal endorsement behind the selection.
The accompanying LIGA MX Skills Challenge will spotlight eight players who will demonstrate their technical prowess in shooting, passing and goalkeeping, with Fernando Gorriarán and Carlos Rodríguez among those set to compete.
The blend of emerging talent and seasoned internationals promises a dynamic showcase that will highlight the growing competitiveness of Mexican football on a global stage.
Fans attending the event in Charlotte can expect a high‑energy atmosphere as the league’s brightest prospects prepare to make their mark.
