The 2026 MLS All-Star Game will pit the best players from MLS against the best from Liga MX in Charlotte. The 2026 MLS All-Star Game takes place this Wednesday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, pitting the league’s best against a Liga MX all-star squad in a rivalry that continues to grow every year. This year’s edition arrives with plenty of storylines, from young breakout talents to World Cup-tested veterans on both sides of the border. One notable absence looms over the occasion: Lionel Messi won’t be suiting up for MLS. The Inter Miami captain is still working through his mandated rest period following Argentina’s run to the World Cup final. His teammate Rodrigo De Paul finds himself in the same situation, also sidelined for the exhibition as part of that same post-tournament recovery window. Neither player will face any sanction over their absence, since the league was informed of their unavailability well in advance and both were left off the roster from the start. Their absence opens the door for other players to headline the occasion, and MLS has no shortage of star power to lean on. Son Heung-Min, Thomas Muller, and a mix of proven MLS regulars and rising prospects make up a 29-player squad selected through a combination of coach’s picks, commissioner’s selections, and fan voting.

Son Heung-min and Sebastian Berhalter are two of the most prominent names that'll take part of the MLS-Liga MX All-Star Game while having participated in the 2026 World Cup. The annual showcase pitting MLS against Liga MX is right around the corner, set to bring together the premier talent across North America’s top two leagues. Fresh off the heels of the 2026 World Cup, South Korean superstar Son Heung-min and USMNT midfielder Sebastian Berhalter lead an extended list of international stars returning from World Cup duty to participate in the event. The marquee exhibition takes place Wednesday, July 29, at Bank of America Stadium, home of Charlotte FC. Coming just 10 days after the World Cup final, the All-Star match will serve as the first action back on the pitch for many returning international players, particularly those representing the three North American co-host nations. The USMNT presence on the MLS squad includes goalkeeper Matt Freese (New York City FC), veteran defender Tim Ream (Charlotte FC), midfielder Sebastian Berhalter (Vancouver Whitecaps FC) who’s expected to sign for Middlesbrough according to The Ahtletic, and wing-back Max Arfsten (Columbus Crew). Representing the Canadian national team, goalkeeper Maxime Crepeau (Orlando City) and defender Richie Laryea (Toronto FC) will both suit up. Liga MX‘s World Cup contingent relies heavily on El Tri‘s domestic core. The Mexican national team members featured on the Liga MX All-Star roster include goalkeeper Carlos Acevedo (Santos Laguna), defender Jesus Gallardo (Toluca), defender Israel Reyes (Club América), and midfielder Erik Lira (Cruz Azul). Luis Romo #7 of Mexico celebrates with teammates Jesus Gallardo #23 and Erik Lira #6 of Mexico. Rising Mexican prodigy Gilberto Mora (Xolos de Tijuana) was initially named to the Liga MX roster before being ruled out alongside veteran goalkeeper Keylor Navas. They join Inter Miami superstars Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul on the list of high-profile absences for Wednesday’s clash. Meanwhile, South Korean icon Son Heung-min will make his MLS All-Star debut following his World Cup campaign with his national team. Notably, Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Thomas Muller, though omitted from Germany’s World Cup squad, stands as the sole former World Cup champion participating in Wednesday’s midsummer showcase.

Gilberto Mora and Keylor Navas have joined the list of Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul as the biggest absences for the MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game. The MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game is right around the corner, promising a marquee showcase featuring the premier talent from both the American and Mexican top flights. However, the event has taken another star-power hit, as Gilberto Mora and Keylor Navas have added their names to a growing list of high-profile absentees that already includes Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul. Liga MX released its preliminary roster weeks ago with both Navas and Mora included on the squad. However, in an official roster update released Monday, July 27, the league confirmed several notable changes, officially scratching the Costa Rican icon and the Mexican prodigy from the final lineup. In Keylor Navas‘ case, the Pumas UNAM goalkeeper will not travel to Charlotte after suffering a minor setback with a knee issue sustained at the start of the Apertura 2026 campaign. While the injury is not considered severe, the Mexico City side opted against risking their veteran star with both the Liga MX season and the Leagues Cup kicking into high gear. Club Pachuca’s Carlos Moreno has been called up as his replacement. As for Gilberto Mora, an official reason for his omission has not been disclosed by either Liga MX or his club, Club Tijuana. Still, the 17-year-old rising star is continuing his ramp-up period with Xolos following a busy World Cup campaign with the Mexican national team and a subsequent vacation, prioritizing long-term fitness ahead of the upcoming season.

However, Liga MX will now be without Mora, Navas, and Armando “La Hormiga” González, while MLS will be missing its biggest draw in Lionel Messi alongside his Inter Miami teammate Rodrigo De Paul.

Sebastian Caceres is one of the multiple stars in the 2026 World Cup that's using a protective mask, in this case in the Uruguay game against Cape Verde. Sebastian Caceres will anchor the backline for Uruguay on Sunday as the primary center-back tasked with neutralizing Cape Verde’s attack during this highly anticipated 2026 World Cup Group H clash at Hard Rock Stadium. However, much like a handful of other prominent stars competing in North America, the defender has drawn some buzz for playing through the tournament with a specialized protective face mask. Caceres is required to wear the custom facial armor due to a severe injury he sustained in May while playing for Liga MX Club America during the domestic playoff quarterfinals. Contesting a 50-50 aerial ball against Pumas UNAM, the center-back was forced to exit the match in the 61st minute, ultimately sidelining him for the second leg as America was eliminated from the tournament. Club America medical staff issued an emergency diagnostic update shortly after the match, revealing that the collision had resulted in a concussion, a fractured zygomatic arch, and direct ocular trauma. The multi-layered facial fracture required immediate intervention from specialists, throwing his availability into serious doubt just as Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa was finalizing his preliminary World Cup roster. Fortunately, following an intensive, specialized rehabilitation process, Caceres managed to regain full physical fitness just in time to join the national team camp in the United States. To safely take the pitch, he must wear a protective mask featuring an extended right-cheek guard, a necessary precaution designed to stabilize the underlying bone structure and shield the healing area from any secondary impacts. Sebastian Caceres #3 of Uruguay reacts after the 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. Caceres, a cornerstone in Bielsa’s Uruguay Despite making his senior international debut in late 2022 and subsequently missing out on the final roster cut for Qatar, Caceres has rapidly transformed into one of Bielsa’s most trusted defensive cornerstones. The 26-year-old defender has already logged 24 career appearances for La Celeste, demonstrating exceptional positional awareness and gritty tactical discipline even though he has yet to record his first international goal. With Ronald Araujo sidelined from peak physical form and long-time captain Jose Maria Gimenez surprisingly dropped to the bench for the tournament opener against Saudi Arabia, Caceres has shouldered immense defensive responsibility. Partnering alongside Napoli’s versatile defender Mathias Olivera, the masked center back will feature his second World Cup game against Cape Verde.
Panama did not include Adalberto Carrasquilla in their 2026 World Cup debut against Ghana. This World Cup debut will not feature Panama’s ideal lineup against Ghana, as Adalberto Carrasquilla is not starting in today’s match. The reason Carrasquilla is out of the lineup is that he is still recovering from a muscle injury he suffered a few weeks ago. The left abductor tear came in the Liga MX final on May 25, when Pumas lost to Cruz Azul. Even if Carrasquilla is not available from the start in this important match for Thomas Christiansen, the expectation is that the midfielder could come off the bench if the team needs him. Carrasquilla’s importance Even if Carrasquilla does not have a long club résumé, he does have plenty of experience. The 27-year-old began at Tauro in Panama before moving to Cartagena, where the most important transfers in his career later followed. Carrasquilla got injured playing for Pumas in May (Manuel Velasquez/Getty Images) His next step came when his career took off after he was initially loaned to Houston Dynamo, where he stayed longer. The following move was another important jump in level when he joined his current club. Carrasquilla’s biggest asset for this team may be the international experience that not many players can match. The midfielder’s 73 appearances for his country could be missed in this tournament if he is not able to play regularly. Panama’s matches After the match against Ghana, which closes the first fixture in Group L following England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia, Panama will face Croatia on June 23 before playing England on June 27.
Gilberto Mora made history with Mexico at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Gilberto Mora made history on Thursday during the Group A opener between Mexico and South Africa. The midfielder came on as a substitute for Alvaro Fidalgo in the 65th minute and became the youngest player in Mexico history to appear in a FIFA World Cup match. At 17 years and 240 days old, Mora broke a record set by Manuel ‘Chaquetas’ Rosas in 1930 that had stood for 96 years. The defender, born in 1912, had been Mexico’s youngest-ever World Cup player after appearing against France at the age of 18 years and 134 days at Uruguay 1930. Other Mexican players near the top of that list include Alfredo Torres (19 years and 16 days at Switzerland 1954), Raul Arellano (19 years and 108 days at Switzerland 1954), Andres Guardado (19 years and 269 days at Germany 2006), and Hugo Sanchez (19 years and 326 days at Argentina 1978). Mora earned the trust of head coach Javier Aguirre after standing out over the last two seasons with Club Tijuana, where he has made 53 appearances while recording 10 goals and two assists. Despite his young age, those performances have not only brought him international recognition but have also attracted interest from several European giants. Teboho Mokoena #4 of South Africa is challenged by Gilberto Mora #19 of Mexico. Other records held by Gilberto Mora In just two years as a professional player, Gilberto Mora has become accustomed to breaking records. When he made his debut for Tijuana in 2024, he became the third-youngest player in Liga MX history, trailing only Victor Manon and Martin Galvan. At the international level, he has achieved remarkable milestones as well. When he made his senior Mexico debut in January 2025, Mora became the youngest player in the nation’s history to accomplish that feat, at just 16 years old. Javier Aguirre’s decision to include him in the squad for the 2026 World Cup has now allowed him to claim another Mexico record by surpassing Manuel ‘Chaquetas’ Rosas. In addition, Gil Mora is the youngest of the 1,248 players participating in this edition of the tournament. Mora falls short of Pele record If he scores a goal in any of Mexico’s upcoming matches, Gilberto Mora would move into second place on the list of the youngest goalscorers in FIFA World Cup history. The record, which remains untouchable, belongs to Brazil legend Pele. He led his national team to the title at Sweden 1958 and scored at the age of just 17 years and 239 days in a quarterfinal match against Wales during that tournament.

Gilberto Mora and Keylor Navas have joined the list of Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul as the biggest absences for the MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game. The MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game is right around the corner, promising a marquee showcase featuring the premier talent from both the American and Mexican top flights. However, the event has taken another star-power hit, as Gilberto Mora and Keylor Navas have added their names to a growing list of high-profile absentees that already includes Lionel Messi and Rodrigo De Paul. Liga MX released its preliminary roster weeks ago with both Navas and Mora included on the squad. However, in an official roster update released Monday, July 27, the league confirmed several notable changes, officially scratching the Costa Rican icon and the Mexican prodigy from the final lineup. In Keylor Navas‘ case, the Pumas UNAM goalkeeper will not travel to Charlotte after suffering a minor setback with a knee issue sustained at the start of the Apertura 2026 campaign. While the injury is not considered severe, the Mexico City side opted against risking their veteran star with both the Liga MX season and the Leagues Cup kicking into high gear. Club Pachuca’s Carlos Moreno has been called up as his replacement. As for Gilberto Mora, an official reason for his omission has not been disclosed by either Liga MX or his club, Club Tijuana. Still, the 17-year-old rising star is continuing his ramp-up period with Xolos following a busy World Cup campaign with the Mexican national team and a subsequent vacation, prioritizing long-term fitness ahead of the upcoming season.

Sebastian Caceres is one of the multiple stars in the 2026 World Cup that's using a protective mask, in this case in the Uruguay game against Cape Verde. Sebastian Caceres will anchor the backline for Uruguay on Sunday as the primary center-back tasked with neutralizing Cape Verde’s attack during this highly anticipated 2026 World Cup Group H clash at Hard Rock Stadium. However, much like a handful of other prominent stars competing in North America, the defender has drawn some buzz for playing through the tournament with a specialized protective face mask. Caceres is required to wear the custom facial armor due to a severe injury he sustained in May while playing for Liga MX Club America during the domestic playoff quarterfinals. Contesting a 50-50 aerial ball against Pumas UNAM, the center-back was forced to exit the match in the 61st minute, ultimately sidelining him for the second leg as America was eliminated from the tournament. Club America medical staff issued an emergency diagnostic update shortly after the match, revealing that the collision had resulted in a concussion, a fractured zygomatic arch, and direct ocular trauma. The multi-layered facial fracture required immediate intervention from specialists, throwing his availability into serious doubt just as Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa was finalizing his preliminary World Cup roster. Fortunately, following an intensive, specialized rehabilitation process, Caceres managed to regain full physical fitness just in time to join the national team camp in the United States. To safely take the pitch, he must wear a protective mask featuring an extended right-cheek guard, a necessary precaution designed to stabilize the underlying bone structure and shield the healing area from any secondary impacts. Sebastian Caceres #3 of Uruguay reacts after the 1-1 draw against Saudi Arabia. Caceres, a cornerstone in Bielsa’s Uruguay Despite making his senior international debut in late 2022 and subsequently missing out on the final roster cut for Qatar, Caceres has rapidly transformed into one of Bielsa’s most trusted defensive cornerstones. The 26-year-old defender has already logged 24 career appearances for La Celeste, demonstrating exceptional positional awareness and gritty tactical discipline even though he has yet to record his first international goal. With Ronald Araujo sidelined from peak physical form and long-time captain Jose Maria Gimenez surprisingly dropped to the bench for the tournament opener against Saudi Arabia, Caceres has shouldered immense defensive responsibility. Partnering alongside Napoli’s versatile defender Mathias Olivera, the masked center back will feature his second World Cup game against Cape Verde.
Panama did not include Adalberto Carrasquilla in their 2026 World Cup debut against Ghana. This World Cup debut will not feature Panama’s ideal lineup against Ghana, as Adalberto Carrasquilla is not starting in today’s match. The reason Carrasquilla is out of the lineup is that he is still recovering from a muscle injury he suffered a few weeks ago. The left abductor tear came in the Liga MX final on May 25, when Pumas lost to Cruz Azul. Even if Carrasquilla is not available from the start in this important match for Thomas Christiansen, the expectation is that the midfielder could come off the bench if the team needs him. Carrasquilla’s importance Even if Carrasquilla does not have a long club résumé, he does have plenty of experience. The 27-year-old began at Tauro in Panama before moving to Cartagena, where the most important transfers in his career later followed. Carrasquilla got injured playing for Pumas in May (Manuel Velasquez/Getty Images) His next step came when his career took off after he was initially loaned to Houston Dynamo, where he stayed longer. The following move was another important jump in level when he joined his current club. Carrasquilla’s biggest asset for this team may be the international experience that not many players can match. The midfielder’s 73 appearances for his country could be missed in this tournament if he is not able to play regularly. Panama’s matches After the match against Ghana, which closes the first fixture in Group L following England’s 4-2 victory over Croatia, Panama will face Croatia on June 23 before playing England on June 27.
Gilberto Mora made history with Mexico at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Gilberto Mora made history on Thursday during the Group A opener between Mexico and South Africa. The midfielder came on as a substitute for Alvaro Fidalgo in the 65th minute and became the youngest player in Mexico history to appear in a FIFA World Cup match. At 17 years and 240 days old, Mora broke a record set by Manuel ‘Chaquetas’ Rosas in 1930 that had stood for 96 years. The defender, born in 1912, had been Mexico’s youngest-ever World Cup player after appearing against France at the age of 18 years and 134 days at Uruguay 1930. Other Mexican players near the top of that list include Alfredo Torres (19 years and 16 days at Switzerland 1954), Raul Arellano (19 years and 108 days at Switzerland 1954), Andres Guardado (19 years and 269 days at Germany 2006), and Hugo Sanchez (19 years and 326 days at Argentina 1978). Mora earned the trust of head coach Javier Aguirre after standing out over the last two seasons with Club Tijuana, where he has made 53 appearances while recording 10 goals and two assists. Despite his young age, those performances have not only brought him international recognition but have also attracted interest from several European giants. Teboho Mokoena #4 of South Africa is challenged by Gilberto Mora #19 of Mexico. Other records held by Gilberto Mora In just two years as a professional player, Gilberto Mora has become accustomed to breaking records. When he made his debut for Tijuana in 2024, he became the third-youngest player in Liga MX history, trailing only Victor Manon and Martin Galvan. At the international level, he has achieved remarkable milestones as well. When he made his senior Mexico debut in January 2025, Mora became the youngest player in the nation’s history to accomplish that feat, at just 16 years old. Javier Aguirre’s decision to include him in the squad for the 2026 World Cup has now allowed him to claim another Mexico record by surpassing Manuel ‘Chaquetas’ Rosas. In addition, Gil Mora is the youngest of the 1,248 players participating in this edition of the tournament. Mora falls short of Pele record If he scores a goal in any of Mexico’s upcoming matches, Gilberto Mora would move into second place on the list of the youngest goalscorers in FIFA World Cup history. The record, which remains untouchable, belongs to Brazil legend Pele. He led his national team to the title at Sweden 1958 and scored at the age of just 17 years and 239 days in a quarterfinal match against Wales during that tournament.
