The MLS All-Stars are joined by US Soccer legend Clint Dempsey, who played for the New England Revolution and Seattle Sounders FC. He'll compete alongside US women’s national team captain and Lyon midfielder Lindsey Heaps.

The LIGA MX All-Stars have Mexican icon Oribe Peralta and LIGA MX Femenil standout Nicki Hernández (Club América) as their special guests.

This is the second year in a row that MLS and LIGA MX greats, alongside two of the best female players in North America, will join the All-Stars in the Skills Challenge.

Challenges

Players will participate in five different challenges:

MLS and LIGA MX will compete on behalf of 4ATX Foundation and MAS Cultura, resulting in $25,000 donations to their respective charities.

Goalie Wars returns

Goalie Wars returns in 2025, featuring four MLS NEXT Pro goalkeepers in a single-elimination tournament competing for a one-of-a-kind, custom championship belt:

The goalkeepers defend their own net while trying to score on their opponent by throwing, kicking or drop-kicking the ball. It will be a back-and-forth battle for three 90-second rounds.

To add even more drama this year, each goalie can play one “Bonus Ball” per round, worth two points instead of one if scored.
