2010 MLS All-Star Game#2010 MLS All-Star Game Rosters

MLS Commissioner Don Garber announced on July 27, 2009 that Houston had been chosen as the host city for the upcoming 2010 MLS All-Star Game, in a press conference at the Canyons Resort in Park City, Utah during All-Star Week festivities. The 2010 MLS All-Star game was the first to be played in the state of Texas.

Like the previous year, the selection of the MLS All-Star First XI was determined by an online fan voting system that accounted for 25% of the total vote, with players, coaches and general managers, and the media each holding 25% of the vote. The fan voting period was announced after the start of the 2010 Major League Soccer season. An additional seven players were chosen by the MLS All-Star head coach Bruce Arena and the Commissioner of MLS Don Garber.

In addition to the 25-man roster of players available to participate in the match, MLS also announced 7 additional inactive all-stars: goalkeepers Jimmy Nielsen (Kansas City) and Kasey Keller (Seattle), midfielders Joel Lindpere (New York), Robbie Rogers (Columbus), Freddie Ljungberg (Seattle), and forwards Fredy Montero (Seattle) and Conor Casey (Colorado).{{cite news |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/soundersfcblog/2012459903_kasey_keller_fredy_montero_and.html |title=Kasey Keller, Fredy Montero and (perhaps surprisingly) Freddie Ljungberg named inactive all-stars by MLS |first=Joshua |last=Mayers |date=July 27, 2010 |newspaper=The Seattle Times |access-date=September 4, 2010}}
