Superstars Landon Donovan and Thierry Henry could be coming to Portland to play in the 2014 MLS All-Star game at the Timbers' Jeld-Wen Field.

That's the announcement that Timbers owner Merritt Paulson, MLS commissioner Don Garber and Portland Mayor Charlie Hales are expected to make during a news conference scheduled to be held Wednesday afternoon at the stadium.

Paulson even hinted about the All-Star game coming to Portland in 2014 in a tweet back in January.

"Also...So this year's MLS All Star game will be in KC. I wonder where the 2014 MLS all-star game will be...wish I knew ;) "

The 2013 MLS All-Star game will be played at Kansas City's Sporting Park on July 31. The game will feature MLS All-Stars playing against Italian club AS Roma. Next year's opponent has not been determined.

The MLS All-Stars have played against a number of European teams beginning in 2005. Opponents such as English Premier League teams Manchester United, Chelsea and Everton have competed in the game.
