MLS newcomers Dreyer, Lozano, and Tverskov have made an immediate impact, each earning their first-ever MLS All-Star selection in their debut season. SDFC is the first expansion team since Atlanta United in 2017 to have three MLS All-Star selections in its inaugural season.
The roster was selected through a combination of fan, player, and media voting (12 players), designations by MLS All-Star head coach Nico Estévez of the host club, Austin FC (12 players), and two selections by MLS Commissioner Don Garber.
The Commissioner’s picks for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game are Patrick Agyemang of Charlotte FC and Hirving ‘Chucky’ Lozano of expansion side San Diego FC. Agyemang has built on a breakthrough 2024 season to lead the attacking line for Charlotte FC, netting six goals and an assist this season while becoming one of the most prolific scorers in club history. The 24-year-old, East Hartford, Conn. native has also made an impact on the United States Men’s National Team and is the only player to appear in all nine USMNT matches in 2025, scoring five goals in his first nine appearances.
The first Designated Player signing in San Diego FC history, Lozano has made an immediate impact for the expansion club, scoring five goals and adding seven assists in just over 1,000 minutes of action. The 29-year-old forward’s play earned him a call-up to the Mexican National Team for the first time in 2025 – a team with which he has earned 70 senior caps for and tallied 18 goals and 12 assists across all competitions, including a goal and an assist during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
