MLS All-Stars to face best of LIGA MX in Austin

March 18 - The 2025 MLS All-Star Game once again will pit the league's top players against a team of All-Stars from Mexico's LIGA MX on July 23 in Austin, Texas.
It's the fourth time using that format for the showcase, previously done in 2021, 2022 and 2024.
"We are thrilled to once again host LIGA MX at the 2025 MLS All-Star Game, showcasing the best talent from our leagues," MLS executive vice president Camilo Durana said.
The match at Q2 Stadium will mark the first major professional All-Star Game played in the Texas capital.
"It is always a great honor for LIGA MX to participate in an event like the MLS All-Star Game. It fills us with excitement to return to this stage to showcase the quality of our players and continue to connect with our fans in the United States," LIGA MX director of operations Francisco Iturbide said.
The MLS roster will consist of 26 players: 12 selected by fan vote, 12 selected by Austin FC and MLS All-Star coach Nico Estevez, and two selected by MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
MLS players won the first two All-Star contests against LIGA MX. LIGA MX won last year's event 4-1 in Columbus, Ohio.

How Down can take inspiration from Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool in their All-Ireland quest

In the summer of 1994, Down beat a powerful Dublin side in Croke Park to claim their fifth All-Ireland title, and solidify their position as the best team to ever helm from the Ulster province. At that stage, Armagh and Tyrone hadn't even lifted the Sam Maguire Cup, while the likes of Derry and Donegal had only one each, both of which were secured in the two previous years of '93 and '92.

Inside Jacob Fearnley's stunning rise as Scots tennis ace who took set off Djokovic breaks world top 50 before Wimbledon

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTTISH tennis star Jacob Fearnley caused a splash at last year's Wimbledon when he took a set off Novak Djokovic. And he's primed to cause more mischief to the sport's top names on the grass at SW19 in the next fortnight after climbing to a career high ranking of 49. 3 Jacob Fearnley in action against Jiri Lehecka Credit: Alamy 3 Jacob Fearnley (right) following his defeat to Novak Djokovic 3 Jacob Fearnley and girlfriend Keagan Polk Credit: / Instagram That came after a storming run to the quarter finals at Queen's Club, beating Alex Bolt and Corentin Moutet to reach the last eight where he duly went out to Jiri Lehecka. Born in Edinburgh, Fearnley was earmarked as a player of some potential from an early age. A promising junior, he defeated both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz when they were 15 - defeating Alcaraz in a final set tie-break at a Grade 2 event in Spain. None other than Roger Federer also practised with him as a 17-year-old at Wimbledon - but while some players emerge in a hurry Fearnley has taken a long time to become an overnight success. Brought up in Edinburgh by his mum Samantha, who was an HR manager in the NHS, the catalyst for Fearnley's emergence has been moving to Texas Christian University (TCU) in the States. Fearnley played college tennis there and carried TCU's Horned Frogs team to three national titles, not to mention meeting beach volleyball star Keagan Polk, who's often seeing cheering the Scot on from the stands. He's credited TCU coaches David Roditi and Devin Bowen for taking his game to a different level. He said previously: 'I think college helped me a lot. TCU was the best decision I ever made. I learned so much from being there. I got the opportunity to be coached by, I think, two of the best coaches in the world. 'Aside from the fact of physically developing more, I think I'm definitely mentally stronger and deal with things a little bit better than maybe I did in the past. "And I think that the other big thing is that I just believe in myself a little bit more. Australian Open clash suspended with players forced to move court over fan behaviour during Jacob Fearnley match "And that belief has come through just a lot of hard work and a lot of people supporting me." This time last year the Scot wasn't even in the world's top FIVE HUNDRED players. The Lowdown: Jacob Fearnley Birthplace and Background: Jacob Fearnley was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, and began playing tennis at the age of three. Education: He played collegiate tennis at Texas Christian University (TCU), earning All-America honours during his four years and leading TCU to multiple championships. Professional Career Start: Fearnley turned professional in May 2024 and quickly made an impact by winning his first ATP Challenger title at the Nottingham Open. Playing Style: He is right-handed with a two-handed backhand, standing at 6 feet tall (183 cm) and weighing 80 kg. Rankings and Achievements: Currently ranked World No. 49 in singles and No. 238 in doubles (highest rankings achieved). He has reached significant milestones such as the third round of the French Open and quarterfinals at Queen's Club Championships. Davis Cup: Represented Great Britain in the Davis Cup, achieving a notable victory against Kei Nishikori of Japan. Grand Slam Success: Secured his first major match win at Wimbledon. But things changed when he turned up for qualifying at a Challenger tournament in Nottingham a couple of weeks later. He went on to win the tournament, earning himself a Wimbledon wild card, where he beat Alejandro Moro Cano on debut to reach the second round and defeat to eventual runner up Djokovic. Making it into the Australian Open in January by dint of his ranking, Fearnley defeated home favourite Nick Kyrgios before going down in the third round to Alex Zverev. He got plenty of support from rowdy Scotsmen in the Melbourne crowd - although one man was so drunk he got thrown out! More Grand Slam match wins followed on the clay of Paris this year, as he defeated former champion Stan Wawrinka and leading Ugo Humbert by a set before the Frenchman could no longer continue. Cam Norrie put an end to that run, but a favourable draw and Fearnley will hope to be on the march again this summer.

Making Orlando proud: English coaching duo's unlikely route to NWSL glory

To followers of women's football in the United States, they are the English coaching duo who have delivered unprecedented success to a previously trophyless club; to English football fans with particularly sharp memories, they are the former Middlesbrough and Derby youngsters who left to play in the MLS. To each other, Seb Hines and Giles Barnes are just old mates, stretching back to their days sharing a room together on England youth international camps. 'It brings an unwavering trust. We can challenge each other and there's no ill intent behind it,' is how Barnes sums up the benefits of a head coach and his assistant being longtime friends. Yet the unlikely chain of events that led to their reunion in Florida is almost as improbable as Orlando Pride leaping from 10th place to the title in two years. Hines may never have moved to the United States had it not been for a call to Barnes. When Hines was contemplating leaving Middlesbrough in 2015, it was Barnes – playing for Houston Dynamo at the time – who helped make up his mind. 'I asked Giles: 'What's the lifestyle like? Is it right for my family? And what's the standard like?' And he sold it to me. He said: 'This is a growing league. You get to play against some of the best players in the world.' Maybe if I hadn't had that conversation, I might be stacking shelves in England or something,' recalls Hines, who knew he had made the right choice on making his Orlando City debut in front of 62,510 alongside Kaká. Barnes's own life-changing move to the MLS had come three years earlier, after a string of serious injuries while at Doncaster after spells at West Brom and his initial breakthrough at Derby. 'As a young kid, I had a lot going for me. Then I got injured pretty severely to the point where I was told to retire,' Barnes says. 'After I came back from knee surgery, I snapped my Achilles twice. When I was playing for Doncaster, I wasn't enjoying football and it was purely because I didn't feel like the same player. I was still young and there were still all these expectations and I never really recovered properly from my injury, and that sat with me in a dark place for a long time. I didn't feel football in my body any more. I was a bit heartbroken. I came to the end of that season and I told my dad I was done with football. 'I sat on the couch for I don't know how long and then I got a random phone call from an agent, saying: 'Hey, how do you feel about playing for LA Galaxy?' and I thought: 'OK you've got my attention'. I ended up going to Houston and just enjoying my life, in a new city where no one's asking: 'What happened to Giles Barnes, the wonder kid?' and I could just enjoy football. I started to feel a little better in myself as a human when I started to get the love back for football. I came to MLS in a dark time of my life and in my career and it saved me.' Barnes would go on to play for Jamaica and have spells in Canada, Mexico and India before getting a break in coaching after the former USA manager Bob Bradley invited him to join Toronto FC during pre-season while, over in Florida, his old roommate's own coaching career was set for an unexpected twist. Hines had been working on the backroom staff at Orlando Pride when, in 2022, the NWSL club placed then head coach Amanda Cromwell on leave and Hines was promoted to interim head coach. Cromwell was later sacked after 'engaging in retaliatory conduct' towards players who had complained against her in a previous investigation. The team needed a reset and Hines knew who to call. 'It was a no-brainer to bring Giles in,' Hines says. 'We started out with the culture. We made training fun and enjoyable, but hard work as well. We have to make sure it's enjoyable because you can't hate playing football, it's the best job in the world.' Barnes adds: 'It was simple – I wanted to help him, he's such a good guy. I did have some questions, because the club had been in a little bit of turmoil, they'd had a lot of investigations, and I was just like: 'Seb, what's it going to take?' and he said: 'We need to just get the culture right and it will be good'. And that was it.' Not only did they change the culture, in 2024 Orlando won the regular-season title and then the playoffs, becoming the first professional sports team from Orlando to win any major trophy 'There are some big, big clubs here,' says Hines, 'so to bring a championship to Orlando was an extremely proud moment. I think everyone can remember the hard times that Orlando Pride have been through [and we] changed the perception by winning both the shield and championship. 'It was almost like a rebuild. The investment from the ownership group has been tremendous, really trusting us. Everything has come together nicely, on an upward trajectory. Now it's about trying to sustain success and it not just being a one-off. We've set a standard and expectation now.' Before that, Hines had already made NWSL history by becoming the league's first Black head coach, something that surprised him: 'I didn't know until I got the job. The league had been going for [more than] 10 years so it came as a bit of a shock. Of course, you would like to see a lot more Black coaches or minorities getting those opportunities to be successful in multiple leagues, and I want to be a role model and to make sure everyone can have the same aspirations.' A former England youth captain, Hines worked under two old England managers, Steve McLaren and Gareth Southgate, at Middlesbrough as well as the former Scotland manager Gordon Strachan and Tony Mowbray – 'He was great for me, he trusted me and helped me develop' – and finally Aitor Karanka. 'It's not a bad list of coaches,' Hines says. 'I've been able to take little pieces away from them which I've tried to implement here.' As the NWSL approaches its halfway break – for the Euros – Orlando Pride sit second in the table and Barnes adds: 'It's not just about winning one championship. It's 'can you win another one?'' Barnes and Hines have no intention of stopping.
