Goalkeeper wars return

Goalie Warss returns in 2025 with four MLS goalkeepers in a single elimination tournament that fights for a unique, custom championship belt:

  • Eldin Jakupović – Chattanooga FC
  • Pedro Cruz – Houston Dynamo 2
  • Carlos Mercado – Orlando City B
  • Adisa de Rosario – Toronto FC II

The goalkeepers defend their own network as they try to achieve their opponent by throwing, kicking, kicking or falling. It will be a back and forth fight for three 90-second rounds.

To add even more drama this year, each goalkeeper can play one “bonus ball” per round that is worth two points instead of one when he is achieved.
