HOUSTON - Houston Dynamo FC captain Héctor Herrera was named to the roster for the 2023 Major League Soccer All-Star Skills Challenge, the league announced earlier today.

Herrera is one of 10 MLS players that will compete in five skill challenges against 10 players from Arsenal FC at Audi Field on Tuesday, July 18 at 6:30 p.m. CT. Fans can watch the entire event for free on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV.

The Dynamo captain was named to the MLS All-Star Team on June 27, and he is the first player to represent Houston at the event since 2018. The Mexican international represented the Dynamo at the 2022 MLS All-Star Skills Challenge just weeks after making his debut on July 9 at home. He earned 65 points in the shooting challenge to give MLS an early lead over the LigaMX All-Stars.

The Dynamo captain has led the club's resurgence this year with the team currently occupying one of the top seven spots in the Western Conference standings. Herrera leads the team with seven assists and has scored three goals for the team this season.

His contributions on both sides of the field have helped the Dynamo post a 7-1-1 record at Shell Energy Stadium this season and a historically strong defensive record with only 3 goals surrendered at home in 11 games in all competitions.
