FC Dallas and Major League Soccer today announced that forward Petar Musa has been named to the 2026 MLS All-Star roster as a selection by MLS All-Star head coach Dean Smith. 

This marks Musa's second MLS All-Star selection. He previously earned a call up to the All-Star team in 2024.

The 2026 MLS All-Star Game presented by Chime will feature the MLS All-Stars against the LIGA MX All-Stars on Wednesday, July 29, at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Musa continued his historic season this summer by [representing Croatia at the 2026 FIFA World Cup](https://www.bigdsoccer.com/fc-dallas-2026-world-cup-recap/), where he scored against England in Croatia's tournament opener at Dallas Stadium. The goal made Musa the first active FC Dallas player to score at a FIFA World Cup. He started Croatia's group stage matches against England and Panama.  
  
Musa has scored 12 MLS goals this season, most recently finding the net in FC Dallas' 3-2 road victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on May 16\. He is tied with Kenny Cooper for third on the club's all-time scoring list with 46 goals and currently sits tied for second in the MLS Golden Boot race alongside Lionel Messi. The Croatian forward has recorded three multi-goal matches this season and six in his FC Dallas career, tying Cooper and Roland Lamah for the fourth-most in club history.
