Messi excused from All-Star Game
The Major League Soccer (MLS) has confirmed that Argentine star Lionel Messi will not be required to participate in the 2026 All-Star Game, following his representing his national team in the 2026 World Cup finals held mid-season. These exceptions come as part of an agreement between the league and the clubs, whereby the clubs will engage in discussions with players who participated in the World Cup to determine appropriate rest periods. As a result, Messi and Rodrigo De Paul were excused from the match. Messi was previously fined last year for missing the All-Star Game due to withdrawing from the World Cup final, as participation was typically mandatory unless due to injury. However, the circumstances of the tournament led to a policy adjustment to include these players.
