SBC FORMAT – WE GOT PKS: As the annual SheBelieves Cup hits its 11^th year, one of the most prestigious four-team tournaments in women’s soccer is back again in its original format. Due to the change in FIFA competition windows during an Olympic year, the 2024 edition saw a two-venue, four-game tournament. As 2025 and 2026 are not Summer Olympic years, the SheBelieves Cup returned to its original six-game, three-venue format featuring three doubleheaders and will remain that way until the 2028 tournament. In 2026, the tournament takes on a Concacaf vs. CONMEBOL slant as the USA welcomes Argentina, Canada and Colombia. In a fun new twist for fans and players, for this year’s tournament, all matches that end in draws after regulation time will go directly to a penalty kick shootout. The winner of the tournament will be based on total points after three matches: three (3) points awarded for a win, one (1) point for a draw during regulation, one (1) additional point awarded for the winner of penalty kicks, and zero (0) for a defeat. If two or more teams are equal based on the above criteria, their ranking shall be determined as follows: overall tournament goal difference; most total tournament goals scored; head-to-head result between the teams concerned. If a match is tied at the end of regulation, that will count as the head-to-head result. The result of the penalty kick shootout will not apply to this tiebreaker.

SBC PARTICIPANT HISTORY: Colombia makes its second appearance in the SheBelieves Cup after finishing third last year. Canada will make its fourth appearance after participating in 2024 (second place), 2023 (fourth) and 2021 (third). This is Argentina’s second SBC appearance after finishing fourth in 2021. The USA won five consecutive SheBelieves Cups before Japan took the title in 2025. The USA has seven SBC titles, while France won in 2017 and England took top honors in 2019. The U.S. is currently ranked second in the world, Canada is 10th, Colombia is 20th and Argentina is 30th. The USA and Canada are the top two teams in the Concacaf region while Colombia and Argentina faced each other in the semifinals of the 2025 Copa American Feminina, with Colombia winning on penalty.

TOBIN HEATH, HONORING A LEGEND: Before the USA’s match against Colombia at Sports Illustrated Stadium on March 7, USWNT legend and 2026 National Soccer Hall of Fame inductee Tobin Heath will be honored with a pregame retirement celebration. The New Jersey native played 181 times for the USA from 2008-2021 and scored 36 goals while helping the USA win two World Cups and two Olympic gold medals. She announced her retirement last July and will be inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame on May 1, 2026.

32 DEBUTS IN 32 GAMES: U.S. head coach Emma Hayes has given 32 players their international debuts since she officially started as head coach of the USWNT in June of 2024. Before Hayes, Jill Ellis gave 30 players their first caps in 132 games at the U.S. helm while Vlatko Andonovski debuted 18 players in 65 games. In matches when at least one player debuted, the U.S. is 19W-0L-1D, including Hayes’ first three matches at the helm, where three players made their debuts and the USWNT won all three matches. At the end of 2025, Hayes had given 27 debuts in 29 matches. To open 2026, she gave five players their first caps in the first camp of the year: forward Reilyn Turner, forward Maddie Dahlien, midfielder Sally Menti, midfielder Riley Jackson and defender Ayo Oke.

SISTER, SISTER: The Thompson sisters are the third pair of sisters to represent the USA. The first time Gisele and her older sister Alyssa were called in together was last year’s SheBelieves Cup, and they became the first pair of sisters to come to camp from the same professional club (Angel City FC). The first instance of sisters on the same USWNT roster occurred in the late 1990s when twins Lorrie and Ronnie Fair were called up together. More recently, Samantha and Kristie Mewis were on the 2021 Olympic Team together. This is Gisele Thompson’s seventh USWNT call-up after first training with the team at the beginning of 2024. Alyssa was a member of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup Team but saw limited action in that tournament, was out of the National Team for about a year but has made a strong push over 2025 with club and country to earn more minutes on the wing under Emma Hayes. The Thompson sisters have started two games together, and have played in three games together, with Alyssa starting on June 26 vs. Ireland and Gisele coming off the bench to play the final 32 minutes. They both started against Australia in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup and in the second match vs. Brazil on April 8.

THE EMMA FILE: Emma Hayes has compiled a record of 27W-3L-2D through her first 32 matches at the helm of the USWNT. At the start of her tenure, she guided the USA to five consecutive shutouts before the streak ended against Germany in the Olympics group stage. It was the second-longest shutout streak to open the career of any full-time USWNT head coach behind the nine consecutive shutouts that opened the Greg Ryan era. After the 3-0 win over Zambia at the Olympics, Hayes became the first USWNT head coach to win their first major tournament match by three or more goals and joined Anson Dorrance as the only head coaches in USWNT history to win their first six matches at a major tournament. Hayes joins three other USWNT head coaches of the last eight coaches in USWNT history who won their first major competition (Anson Dorrance – 1991 FIFA Women’s World Cup, Pia Sundhage – 2008 Olympics, Jill Ellis – 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup). The gold medal victory in Paris was Hayes’ 10th match at the helm of the USWNT, the fewest matches before winning a World Cup or Olympics by any head coach in women’s soccer history. Hayes picked up her first world honor as head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team when she won the Ballon d’Or as the 2024 Women’s Soccer Coach of the Year, the first year that France Football (top soccer magazine in France and one of the most reputable in Europe) gave out awards to coaches of men’s and women’s soccer. Hayes then won the 2024 Best FIFA Women’s Coach award. Hayes won that award first in 2021 and finished second to England head coach Sarina Wiegman in 2023.

VISA SHEBELIEVES CUP MVP: For the seventh year in a row, Visa, the presenting partner of the SheBelieves Cup, will award the MVP trophy to the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament. The award will be announced following the conclusion of the final match. Spain’s Alexia Putellas – the Ballon d’Or winner in both 2021 and 2022 — won the inaugural award in 2020. The USA claimed top honors for the next four years as Rose Lavelle won the award in 2021, Catarina Macario won in 2022, Mallory Swanson took home the trophy in 2023 and Sophia Smith (now Wilson) won MVP in 2024. In 2025, Japan’s Mina Tanaka, who plays for the Utah Royals in the NWSL, won the award. A new selection committee comprised of representatives from all competing nations will be announced for the 2026 SheBelieves Cup and fans will again have the opportunity to vote for the Visa SheBelieves Cup MVP award recipient via online ballot to select among a list of finalists chosen by the committee. The fan vote will be incorporated into the overall determination of the 2026 Visa SheBelieves Cup MVP.

The USA’s overall winning percentage of 84% is the best all-time of any international sports team in history. Of the USA’s 75 losses, 12 (16%) came at the Algarve Cup in Portugal, long one of the world’s most competitive tournaments but one in which the USA no longer competes.
• Since the end of the 2015 World Cup, the USA has played 203 matches with a 166W-14L-23D record.
• So far in 2026, of the USA’s combined six goals and five assists, 71% involved a player under 25.
• Goals by players under 25: Two from 21-year-old Ally Sentnor, 24-year-old Emma Sears and 23-year-old Trinity Rodman, one from 23-year-olds Reilyn Turner and Jameese Joseph and 24-year-old Croix Bethune

• This is the first time a U.S. roster has NOT featured an uncapped player in a little over a year, since the 2025 SheBelieves Cup. It is the first time an Emma Hayes-chosen roster has not featured an uncapped player. The last roster before the 2025 SBC that did not feature an uncapped player was in February of 2024 for the Concacaf W Gold Cup. Even the 2024 Olympic Team had uncapped players when it was named, in Emily Sams and Hal Hershfelt, who were both alternates.
