After the voting for this new All-Star Game in 2024, Toronto FC managed to get a key player included, one who has been crucial in maintaining composure in the MLS. Thanks to him, TFC remains in the playoff positions, largely due to the efforts of the Italian player.
A Crucial Selection for the MLS All-Star Game
Federico Bernardeschi was chosen to be in the starting XI for the MLS All-Star team, which will face the Liga MX All-Star team on July 24th at Lower.com Field in Columbus, Ohio. His selection comes thanks to his outstanding season with Toronto FC and his impressive performances for the team.

He aims to be the leader on the field, helping guide the team to victory and always achieving the best possible results.
