Nashville SC's Hany Mukhtar selected to MLS All-Star Game roster

Nashville SC forward Hany Mukhtar has been named to the 2024 MLS All-Star Game roster as a coach's selection.

The All-Star Game will take place July 24 at Lower.com field in Columbus, Ohio, with 30 players from MLS facing an all-star team from Mexico's Liga MX. 12 players were selected to the MLS team by a combined fan, media and player vote, while 16 players were chosen by Columbus Crew coach Wilfried Nancy, who will coach the team. Two players were picked by MLS commissioner Don Garber.

Mukhtar, the 2022 MLS MVP and Golden Boot winner, has been named an All-Star in each of the past three seasons. He's totaled five goals and seven assists in 18 league games this season, and has six goals and nine assists across all competitions. On Saturday, he scored a penalty kick against Inter Miami to become just the sixth player in MLS history to record 100 goal contributions over a four-year span.

Nashville has had an MLS All-Star each of the last four seasons. Defender Walker Zimmerman made the team each season from 2021-23.
