The United States Soccer Federation announced details of the 2023 SheBelieves Cup, with Brazil, Canada and Japan joining the US women’s national team in the competition.
All three of the US’ opponents are ranked 11th or higher, with Canada at No. 7, Brazil at No, 9 and Japan at No 11. All three teams have qualified for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup which is being held in Australia and New Zealand next summer.

“We love the SheBelieves Cup for the world class competition it brings, the format that helps replicate group play at a World Cup and the overall meaning that it has for our team and women’s sports,” US manager Vlatko Andonovski said.
“Obviously, you get more rest days in a World Cup, but managing a roster with three games over seven days against teams with three very different styles of play is really good preparation for us as we continue to grow as a team towards next summer.”
