The United States Women’s National Team (USWNT) is set to compete against Canada, Argentina, and Colombia in the upcoming SheBelieves Cup tournament this March. The prestigious international friendly competition will feature a round-robin format with double-header matches across three major American cities: Nashville, Tennessee; Columbus, Ohio; and Harrison, New Jersey.
The tournament schedule commences on March 1st at GEODIS Park in Nashville, where Canada will first confront Colombia followed by the USWNT facing Argentina. The action continues on March 4th at Columbus’s Miracle-Gro Field with Argentina versus Colombia and the highlight match between the United States and Canada. The final matches on March 7th at New Jersey’s Sports Illustrated Stadium will feature Canada against Argentina and the USWNT versus Colombia, culminating in a special ceremony honoring retired soccer star Tobin Heath, a two-time Women’s World Cup champion and New Jersey native.
Currently ranked second globally, the USWNT will face opponents positioned at 10th (Canada), 20th (Colombia), and 30th (Argentina) in FIFA’s world rankings. US head coach Emma Hayes emphasized the tournament’s strategic importance, noting that these matches provide crucial preparation for upcoming World Cup qualifying matches and the anticipated 2027 World Cup. Canadian coach Casey Stoney similarly praised the competition as an excellent measuring stick against quality opponents, highlighting the diverse playing styles that will challenge both teams’ development.
The United States has dominated the SheBelieves Cup historically, claiming victory in seven of the eleven tournaments held since its inception, though Japan captured last year’s title.
