Frisco, Texas (June 27, 2023) - FC Dallas Jesús Ferreira will be in the lineup for Major League Soccer when it competes against 13-time English league champions Arsenal FC in the 2023 MLS All-Star Game presented by Target on Wednesday, July 19 at Audi Field in Washington, D.C. It’s the second straight MLS All-Star Game honor for the 22-year-old Homegrown player.
Ferreira has been a force on the pitch in 2023 for FC Dallas, with a team-leading 10 goals, which is tied for third in MLS, and two assists in 18 matches. The 22-year-old forward is tied for the league lead in non-penalty goals scored and has delivered the most game-winning goals (6) in the Major League Soccer.
“I am honored and proud to be selected to the 2023 MLS All Star Team,” said Ferreira. “I am grateful to represent my teammates and the FC Dallas fans among the league’s top talent. Thank you for always supporting me and I look forward to going head-to-head against Arsenal in this year’s All-Star game.”
This marks Ferreira's second selection as an MLS All-Star after earning his first appearance in 2022. Ferreira also earned MLS Young Player of the Year last season after tallying 18 goals and six assists across 33 games (29 starts) which tied the club’s single-season goals record held by both Kenny Cooper and Jason Kreis.
Beyond his accomplishments in domestic play, Ferreira is also making his mark on the international stage as a member of the United States Men's National Team. In 19 U.S. appearances, he has netted eight goals and registered four assists. Ferreira is currently competing with the United States at the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup with matches against Saint Kitts and Nevis (June 28) and Trinidad and Tobago (July 2).
