The U.S. women take the field for the first time in 2025 as they kick off the 2025 SheBelieves Cup with a game against Colombia on Thursday.
Ranked No. 1 in the world, the USWNT head into the new year with renewed faith in their global dominance thanks to an Olympic gold medal last summer that restored them to FIFA’s top spot.
Yet they are without some of their most notable stars who are readying themselves for the NWSL club season and thus have not been risked. It will, therefore, present a test for Emma Hayes to solidify the squad without the likes of Mallory Swanson, Sophia Smith, and Naomi Girma amongst world-renowned players.
Colombia, ranked 21st in the world, stand in their path to a sixth-straight SheBelieves Cup title for the United States on home soil, with games against Australia and Japan still to come in a return to the old round-robin format.
