Major League Soccer announced the full roster for the 2026 MLS All-Star Game presented by Chime, which includes San Diego FC's Winger Anders Dreyer. The 2026 MLS All-Star Game presented by Chime in Charlotte, N.C., will see the MLS All-Stars take on a team of All-Stars from Mexico’s top soccer league, LIGA MX, on Wednesday, July 29 (5 PM PT) at Charlotte FC’s Bank of America Stadium.
This season with SDFC, Dreyer has 6 goals and 9 assists in 15 MLS Regular Season matches played, leading MLS in assists (9) and key passes (44). Dreyer joined SDFC as the Club's second-ever Designated Player ahead of its inaugural 2025 season. In his first year in MLS, Dreyer was named the 2025 MLS Newcomer of the Year after tying the MLS record for the most goal contributions (38) by a first-year player. He also became the second-fastest player in league history to reach 20 career goals and 20 career assists, trailing only Lionel Messi. Overall, Dreyer has 62 goal contributions (30 goals, 32 assists) for SDFC in 60 MLS appearances.
The roster also features several players who starred at this summer's FIFA World Cup 2026, including Matt Freese, Petar Musa, and Richie Laryea. They are joined by standout MLS regular-season performers Evander, Thomas Müller, and Sam Surridge. U.S. Men’s National Team captain and Charlotte FC defender Tim Ream will be joined by club teammates Pep Biel and Ashley Westwood as the three player representatives from the host club.
The first 11 players were selected through a combination of fan, player, and media voting, and announced on June 4. The 16 coach selections were a collaborative effort by MLS All-Star head coach Dean Smith and Major League Soccer. Two selections were made by MLS Commissioner Don Garber – Red Bull New York forward Julian Hall and Toronto FC defender Richie Laryea.
