The 2024 SheBelieves Cup, named the 2024 SheBelieves Cup Presented by Visa for sponsorship reasons, was the ninth edition of the SheBelieves Cup, an invitational women's soccer tournament held in the United States.[1] Featuring national teams from Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the United States, the tournament was held from April 6 to 9, 2024.[2]
The United States emerged as champions, their fifth consecutive win at the SheBelieves Cup and seventh overall, beating second-place Canada in a seven-round penalty shootout after a 2–2 draw in regulation time.[3] Brazil won the third-place game in a penalty shootout after a 1–1 draw, while Japan finished fourth.[4]
Due to the change in FIFA window and scheduling of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup, the format for this tournament format was different from previous years. The four invited teams played in a four-game format that consisted of two semi-finals followed by a third-place game and a final.[1][5] Each game lasted the usual 90 minutes, followed immediately by a penalty shoot-out in the case of a tie.[3][4][6]
Venues
The USSF installed grass at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which hosted the semi-finals and will also be used for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.[1] The third-place match and final took place at Lower.com Field.[7]
