Canada has confirmed its participation in the upcoming SheBelieves Cup, a prominent four-team women’s tournament set to take place in March. The Canadian team, ranked 10th, will kick off the tournament on March 1 against Colombia, ranked 20th, in Nashville. They will then face the second-ranked U.S. team on March 4 in Columbus and No. 30 Argentina on March 7 in Harrison, N.J.
This will mark Canada’s fourth appearance at the SheBelieves Cup, having achieved second place in 2024, fourth place in 2023, and third place in 2021. The 2025 tournament was won by Japan, ending the U.S.’s five-year winning streak. Out of the ten editions held so far, the U.S. has emerged victorious in seven, with France claiming the title in 2017 and England in 2019.
Canada’s head coach, Casey Stoney, expressed excitement about the opportunity to compete against top-tier opponents who are expected to feature in the 2027 World Cup. Stoney highlighted the SheBelieves Cup as a valuable test for the team, emphasizing the importance of facing different playing styles to enhance their readiness for future competitions.
The Canadian women’s team concluded 2025 with a disappointing five-game losing streak and a goal drought lasting 454 minutes. Despite these challenges, they are gearing up to compete fiercely in the upcoming SheBelieves Cup, aiming to showcase their resilience and determination on the international stage.
