Hey Andy, You’re An All-Star – Nashville’s Honduran right back was named to the 2025 MLS All-Star squad for the first time in his 8-year MLS career. Austin FC and 2025 MLS All-Star coach Nico Estévez selected Najar as one of his 12 coach's picks. His nomination continues Nashville’s streak of having at least one All-Star in every season Nashville SC has competed in MLS.
“Being selected for the MLS All-Star team is a motivation for me to keep working, to keep doing things the same way; otherwise, this wouldn't have been possible,” shared Najar. “First, I want to thank God, my family, my teammates, the coaching staff, and the medical team, who I believe have also been part of these six months of my time here with the team. Being able to play in that match and represent Nashville SC is a joy and a happiness for me, and I hope to continue doing things the same way.”
