Seattle Sounders FC News Release


SEATTLE, WASH. - A club-record six Sounders FC players have been selected to the 2021 MLS All-Star Game, which takes place tonight at Banc of California Stadium (6:30 p.m. PT / FS1, TUDN, TSN, TVA). Raúl Ruidíaz, João Paulo, Yeimar Gómez Andrade, Nouhou, Alex Roldan and Cristian Roldan are among the 28-man roster that will face the Liga MX All-Stars at Bank of California Stadium. This marks the first MLS All-Star appearance for each of the six Seattle players, who were all selected via the fan, player and media vote. Notably, the simultaneous All-Star Game selection of both Alex and Cristian Roldan marks the first time a pair of brothers have been named to an MLS All-Star Game in the same year.

Cristian Roldan was announced as captain of the 2021 MLS All-Star team earlier this week, following an online vote via Twitter. Ruidíaz took part in the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge last night at Banc of California Stadium, with the Liga MX All-Stars narrowly defeating the MLS squad.
