HARRISON, NJ — The U.S. women look to return to the podium at the SheBelieves Cup as they meet Colombia for the finale of the 2026 tournament.

A five-year winning streak at this event on home soil was snapped last year as Japan took the 2025 SheBelieves title, but a win or draw today would return the silverware to the USWNT.

If the U.S. fall short at the final hurdle, Canada or Colombia could catch them if they reverse the goal differential advantage held by Emma Hayes' team.

MORE:An in-depth rundown of the USWNT roster for the 2026 SheBelieves Cup

  • It's unclear how much Emma Hayes will rotate the side from the first-choice XI that took the field against Canada. It's likely that Lindsey Heaps will come back into the side after playing the opener against Argentina but coming off the bench last time out.
  • Lilly Reale was sent home after picking up an injury in training, and cannot be replaced on the roster, and Catarina Macario was not called in as she remains on the shelf with Chelsea. Sophia Smith and Mallory Swanson remain out long-term.
  • Emily Sonnett is the only player to have appeared on all 11 USWNT SheBelieves Cup rosters since the tournament began 2016.

Colombia team news​

  • Colombia are with all their regular stars as they have no notable injuries to speak of at the moment.
  • Superstar Linda Caicedo snapped a four-game scoreless streak when she bagged the winner against Argentina last time out.
