US Women’s Team to Welcome Japan, Colombia, and Australia for 10th Edition of SheBelieves Cup

The U.S. women’s national soccer team is set to welcome Australia, Japan, and Colombia to the 2025 SheBelieves Cup.
This annual tournament, now in its 10th year, will take place across three cities—Houston, San Diego, and Glendale, Arizona—between February 23 and February 26, as announced by U.S. Soccer on Wednesday.

Each team participated in the recent Paris Olympics and is geared up to compete in three matches during the tournament, with one game scheduled in each host city.
Teams will accumulate points across their games to determine the champion.
Due to Olympic commitments, the previous SheBelieves Cup was scaled back, resulting in two games for each participating team.

U.S. coach Emma Hayes emphasized the importance of these matches, noting that all four teams compete at high levels and are currently focused on securing spots for the next World Cup.
“To have the opportunity for three games against top-tier opponents in a setting that mimics tournament group play is invaluable for our development,” said Hayes.

The tournament will kick off on February 20, with the U.S. team facing Colombia in Houston, followed by a clash between Japan and Australia.
As the event progresses, Glendale will host Colombia against Japan before the U.S. takes on Australia on February 23.
The concluding matches will be held in San Diego on February 26, featuring Australia versus Colombia, followed by the U.S. taking on Japan.

These games will mark the first time in 2025 that the U.S. women’s team competes on home turf.
