After failing to be selected as one of the host cities for the 2026 World Cup, Washington received a consolation prize on Thursday when DC United were awarded the 2023 Major League Soccer All-Star Game.

The game, to be played on July 19 at DC United’s home Audi Field, will ease some of the sting of the joint bid of Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland being overlooked when FIFA last week announced the 16 venues for the 2026 World Cup, which will be shared by the US, Canada and Mexico.

“We are thrilled to bring the MLS All-Star Game and festivities back to Washington, DC, a city with a rich soccer history, as well as a diverse and vibrant soccer culture,” said MLS commissioner Don Garber in a statement.
