The 1989 Major Indoor Soccer League All-Star Game was the 10th playing of the league's mid-season game featuring the all-stars of the original Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL). The game was held on February 22, 1989, at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, the home of the Dallas Sidekicks.[1] Dallas had been chosen by the league to host the game in February 1987, beating out competing bids by Baltimore and San Diego.[2][3][4]
Because the MISL had contracted to just seven teams, the format of the game was changed from division versus division to the league's all-stars versus the hometown Dallas Sidekicks.[1] To avoid a conflict of interest, the Sidekicks players were not allowed to participate in the selection of that season's all-star team.[5] The game resulted in the MISL All-Stars defeating the Sidekicks 8–1.[6][7]
