MLS followed through on its commitment to host a high-profile showdown between MLS and Liga MX All-Stars, announcing the 2021 MLS All-Star Game at LAFC's Banc of California Stadium on Aug. 25.
After last season's All-Star Game between the two sides was canceled due to the pandemic, MLS commissioner Don Garber said it was always the league's intention to bring the matchup back for this year in Los Angeles.
"As we have been working for so long to develop this really powerful, really valuable and really important partnership with Liga MX, we thought the best way to show the best of soccer in this part of the world was to get our best players together and play in the MLS All-Star Game," Garber said in a press conference announcing the event.
