A fan vote will determine the team captain at a later date. Four players from the roster will be chosen for the voting, with set as an overwhelmingly obvious favorite.

The All-Star jerseys were also unveiled on Monday:

In his first full season with Inter Miami, Messi has his club at the top of the standings despite playing in only 12 games. Messi has scored 12 goals and dished out 13 assists in his limited action, with Inter Miami losing only once this season in games he's played.

Acosta is the only player to top Messi in assists with 16, as he's played a starring role in FC Cincinnati's second-place standing in the Eastern Confernece. Real Salt Lake star Cristian Arango leads all scorers in MLS with 16 goals, and he's added 11 assists to the mix as well. Real Salt Lake currently sits third in the West standings, just three points behind LAFC and the LA Galaxy.

The Columbus Crew are unsurprisingly well-represented with four players. Juan 'Cucho' Hernández, Diego Rossi and Rudy Camacho were all given nods by Nancy, their regular-season coach, while Garber picked midfielder Darlington Nagbe.

Columbus currently sits in fourth place in the Eastern Conference despite only playing 18 games, and its goal differential is second behind only Miami in the conference.

The MLS All-Stars won their previous two matchups against Liga MX in 2021 and 2022. They lost 5-0 to Arsenal last year.
