FC Dallas forward Petar Musa has officially secured a spot on the 2026 MLS All-Star roster, Major League Soccer announced Wednesday. Chosen as a coach’s selection, Musa will represent the club in the upcoming marquee exhibition.

The annual midsummer showcase is scheduled for Wednesday, July 29, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, where the MLS All-Stars will face off against the top talent from LIGA MX.

A Historic Season for the FC Dallas Striker

Musa’s inclusion comes during a phenomenal campaign where he has already netted 12 goals, including a crucial strike during FC Dallas’ 3-2 away win against the San Jose Earthquakes on May 16.

The prolific forward is currently navigating a historic run in Texas:

• Golden Boot Contender: He is currently deadlocked with Lionel Messi for second place in the MLS Golden Boot race.
• Club Legend Status: With 46 career goals for FC Dallas, Musa has tied Kenny Cooper for third place on the franchise’s all-time scoring leaderboard.
• Record Breaker: This milestone follows a stellar 2025 campaign in which he scored 19 goals across all competitions, matching Jason Kreis’ club record for the most goals in a single season. FC Dallas originally acquired Musa ahead of the 2024 season in a franchise-record transfer deal.

Making Waves on the International Stage

This All-Star nod marks the second of Musa’s MLS career, capping off an unforgettable summer.

The striker recently represented Croatia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, making history on his home club turf. By scoring against England in Croatia’s opening match at Dallas Stadium (AT&T Stadium), Musa became the first active FC Dallas player to score in a World Cup tournament.

How the 2026 MLS All-Star Roster Was Formed

The selection process for this year’s 26-man roster combined collective voting and technical leadership:

• The First XI: Fan, player, and media ballots determined the initial 11 players last month.
• The Coach’s Picks: MLS All-Star head coach Dean Smith collaborated directly with league officials to select the remaining 16 players, including Musa.
