The U.S. women's national team will host Australia, Japan and Colombia in the 2025 SheBelieves Cup.
The 10th annual edition of the tournament will be played in Houston, San Diego and Glendale, Arizona, from Feb. 23-26, U.S. Soccer announced Wednesday.
The teams, which all played in the Paris Olympics this summer, will each play three games, one game apiece in each city, with the winner determined by points.
