As we come to the dusk of the ongoing season, the plans are starting to come in place for the next one – and everything starts with a pre-season, and as per the report by The Athletic Arsenal have been confirmed informally as the visiting team for MLS All-Stars game.
For the past couple of seasons the MLS All-Stars have played the Liga MX All-Stars, rather than a touring side. The MLS usually schedules opponents from inside North America, but with the advent of the Campeons Cup and the Leagues Cup, they have had to expand their search.
In 2016, the Gunners also participated in the All-Star Game and came out on top, 2-1.
As is customary, the head coaches of the Major League Soccer team based in the host city will lead the chosen XI in the exhibition match and with the match scheduled to be played at DC United’s Audi Field in Washington, DC this year – Former Manchester United ace Wayne Rooney is expected to take up the managerial duties for the MLS All-Stars game.
It is reported that 2023 MLS All-Star Game will be played on July 19th, 2023.
