About

About MLS All-Stars

One way to appreciate just how magnificently talented professional soccer players are is to watch them do the basic stuff everyone learns when he or she starts to play the game. Shooting, passing, controlling the ball — the little things are second nature to the pros. That's more or less the premise of the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge. The competition pits MLS players against a handful of their international counterparts in a series of events testing the players' technical abilities.

MLS All-Stars History

The new version of the challenge soft-launched in 2017, with players competing in video-game training challenges. By 2019, MLS had settled on three core events: Shooting, Passing, and Cross & Volley. The 2020 edition added the Touch Challenge and the Crossbar Challenge. In the Touch Challenge, balls are directed at each player from different distances and trajectories to see who has the best first-touch ball control. In the new stand-alone Crossbar Challenge, players have to hit the crossbar from a distance.

In 2019, the Skills Challenge pitted three teams of three players against each other — one comprising MLS all-stars (Wayne Rooney, Jonathan dos Santos, and Carlos Vela), one made up of Atlético Madrid players (Koke, Héctor Herrera, and João Félix), and one featuring players from the host team Orlando City (Nani, Sebas Méndez and Chris Mueller). During the Passing event, held at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Nani led his Orlando City group to a Skills Challenge victory over the Atlético Madrid side with a last-second crossbar strike.

For the 2020 Challenge, the teams were tweaked to feature eight MLS all-stars competing against eight LIGA MX all-stars at Los Angeles' Banc of California Stadium.

Longtime MLS fans will recall a time when the league's all-star event featured a very different sort of skills challenge. This challenge, discontinued in the aughts, featured events such as Soccer Tennis and Goalie Wars, in which goalies tried to whip soccer balls past each other.
