Columbus Crew SC News Release


COLUMBUS - Columbus Crew, in conjunction with Major League Soccer, today announced that midfielder Darlington Nagbe has been selected for the 2022 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target. The midfielder is the 25th player in Crew history to be named an MLS All-Star. The 26 MLS All-Stars are set to face the best of LIGA MX at Allianz Field on August 10 [8:30 p.m. ET / ESPN, Univision].

Nagbe, who was previously named an MLS All-Star Game in 2016, is the only player in the 2022 MLS All-Star Game roster to win three MLS Cups (2015, 2018, 2020). The 26-player roster was determined through a combination of fan, player, and media voting (12 players), designations by All-Star Head Coach Adrian Heath (12 players) and selections by MLS Commissioner Don Garber (two players).

Since joining the Crew ahead of the 2020 season, Nagbe has made 66 regular-season appearances (65 starts) while registering six goals and six assists. The midfielder helped the Crew win a trophy each of his first two seasons with the Club, winning the MLS Cup in 2020 and the Campeones Cup - the Crew's first international trophy - in 2021. Additionally, he has maintained a pass completion percentage of 93.8% since 2020, the highest percentage in the League over that span.

In 2022, Nagbe has made 18 regular-season appearances (all starts), while scoring three goals. The midfielder has completed 865 of his attempted 937 passes and has a passing completion percentage of 92.3%, the highest completion percentage among players to have played at least 1,000 minutes this season.

Up next, the Crew travels to face D.C. United at Audi Field tomorrow, Wednesday, July 12 [8:00 p.m. ET / Bally Sports Ohio, Bally Sports App (Stream) / 97.1 FM The Fan & 971TheFan.com (English), ColumbusCrew.com (Spanish)]. The Black & Gold are then set to host in-state rivals FC Cincinnati in a nationally televised match at Lower.com Field on Sunday, July 17 [7:30 p.m. ET / FS1 (English), FOX Deportes (Spanish) / 97.1 FM The Fan & 971TheFan.com (English), ColumbusCrew.com (Spanish)].
