The first edition of the MLS All-Star Game was held in 1996 between the Western and Eastern conferences, the latter being the winner of the match. In 2003, the MLS stars faced Chivas de Guadalajara and the victory went to the representative of the American championship.
Starting in 2005, the MLS All-Star Games was played against European teams, with Manchester United, Chelsea, Roma, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Juventus and Atlético de Madrid being some of the most prominent guests.
