Canada has confirmed its participation in the upcoming SheBelieves Cup, joining the United States, Argentina, and Colombia at the prestigious women’s tournament in March. The Canadian team, ranked 10th, will kick off their campaign on March 1 against Colombia, ranked 20th, in Nashville. They will then face the second-ranked U.S. on March 4 in Columbus and No. 30 Argentina on March 7 in Harrison, N.J.
This will be Canada’s fourth appearance at the tournament, having previously achieved a second-place finish in 2024, fourth place in 2023, and third place in 2021. The 2025 edition was won by Japan, breaking the U.S.’s streak of five consecutive titles. The U.S. has dominated the tournament, winning seven out of the ten editions so far, with France and England clinching the titles in 2017 and 2019 respectively.
Casey Stoney, the head coach of the Canadian team, emphasized the significance of the competition in preparing for the 2027 World Cup, stating, “The SheBelieves Cup has served as a great test for our group in previous years, and we’re thrilled to be able to return for another chance to win the competition. Each team brings a different style which will pose a challenge and ultimately prepare us to become the team we need to be.”
Despite a challenging end to 2025 with a five-game losing streak, the Canadian women’s team is determined to overcome their 454-minute goal drought and showcase their competitive spirit in the upcoming tournament.
