Fresh off of hosting the NFL Draft, Nashville will be hosting another major pro sporting event sometime in the future.

Speaking at the AP Sports Editors Commissioners Meetings Thursday in New York City, MLS Commissioner Don Garber said that the league has committed to an MLS All-Star Game in Nashville.

Garber said it is part of an expansion agreement where all expansion franchises will host the all-star game at some point. He did not specify which season that the MLS All-Star Game will be played in Nashville.

Nashville SC, currently playing in the USL, will make the move to MLS beginning in 2020.

Nashville SC will play its first two seasons at Nissan Stadium before moving to its soccer-specific stadium at the Fairgrounds in time for the start of the 2022 season.

Garber said he watched the NFL Draft and was impressed. The attendance for the three-day draft was an estimated 600,000, Brian McCarthy, the NFL's vice president of communications, said.

The first MLS All-Star Game was in 1996. Since 2005, MLS has invited a European club team to face off against an MLS All-Star team consisting of players from the Eastern and Western Conferences.

Previous European teams which have played in an MLS All-Star Game include Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid. Atletico Madrid will play in the 2019 MLS All-Star Game in Orlando on July 31.
