Canada has confirmed its participation in the upcoming SheBelieves Cup alongside the United States, Argentina, and Colombia. The Canadian team, ranked 10th globally, 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 before concluding their matches against Argentina, ranked 30th, on March 7 in Harrison, N.J.
This will be Canada’s fourth appearance at the tournament, following their second-place finish in 2024, fourth place in 2023, and third place in 2021. The reigning champion, Japan, claimed victory in 2025, ending the United States’ 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 securing victories in 2017 and 2019, respectively.
Head coach Casey Stoney expressed excitement about the opportunity to compete against top-tier teams in preparation for the 2027 World Cup. Stoney highlighted the SheBelieves Cup as a valuable platform to test the team’s capabilities and strive for victory. Each opponent brings a unique playing style, presenting challenges that will aid in the team’s development and readiness for future competitions.
Despite facing a challenging period with a five-game losing streak at the end of 2025, the Canadian women’s team is determined to overcome their 454-minute goal drought and showcase their resilience in the upcoming tournament.
