The U.S. women's national team was in action in the SheBelieves Cup in February 2023, which had a star-studded line-up featuring Brazil, Canada and Japan.
The SheBelieves Cup is a round-robin tournament which the USWNT has hosted annually since 2016, with the winner being the nation sat top of the standings after all four have faced each other once.
That was the USWNT's fifth triumph from seven editions of the SheBelieves Cup and it picked up its a sixth in 2023, as it prepared to defend its Women's World Cup title this summer.

Canada head coach Bev Priestman completed the set by naming her roster on February 13. It looked like the nation would not participate in the tournament when captain Christine Sinclair announced a player protest last week, amid a pay feud with the federation.
