New England Revolution midfielder Wilfried Zahibo has been named to the 2018 MLS All-Star Gameday Roster by MLS All-Star coach Gerardo "Tata" Martino. Zahibo is one of 26 players selected to represent MLS as it faces Italian powerhouse Juventus in the 2018 MLS All-Star Game on Wednesday, Aug. 1, at 7:30 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. 
                                           
Zahibo is one of four newcomers selected to this year's All-Star roster, joining LA's Zlatan Ibrahimović, LAFC's Carlos Vela, and Atlanta's Ezequiel Barco. The complete 2018 MLS All-Star Gameday Roster is comprised of 26 players, including the All-Star Fan XI presented by Target, 13 players selected by Tata Martino, and the two Commissioner’s Picks. 
 
Midway through his debut MLS campaign, Zahibo is one of three Revolution players to appear in every match across all competitions. The 24-year-old native of Marseille, France, has made 17 appearances, one coming in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, and contributed three goals and four assists. He leads all Revolution field players in recoveries (110) and successful passes in the opponent's half (288), and ranks third in successful passes (434), per Opta. 
 
Zahibo's season highlights include an MLSsoccer.com Team of the Week nod after propelling New England to a decisive 4-0 win against Montreal on April 6, and an AT&T Goal of the Week nomination for his volley against the Impact on May 5.
