Goalie Wars returns
Goalie Wars returns in 2024, featuring four MLS NEXT Pro goalkeepers in a single-elimination tournament competing for a one-of-a-kind, custom championship belt:
- Jean Antoine - Chattanooga FC
- Michael Collodi - North Texas SC
- Stas Lapkes - Columbus Crew 2
- Chituru Odunze - Crown Legacy FC
The goalkeepers defend their own net while trying to score on their opponent by throwing, kicking or drop-kicking the ball. It will be a back-and-forth battle for three 90-second rounds.
