The Matildas are set to make their debut at the SheBelieves Cup, a four-nation tournament hosted by US Soccer, featuring some of the world’s top teams. The 2025 edition, celebrating its 10th anniversary, will see Australia compete alongside reigning Olympic gold medallists USA, Japan, and Colombia, with all four teams having played at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Under head coach Tom Sermanni, Australia will face Japan on Friday, followed by matches against USA on Monday and Colombia next Thursday. The tournament, played across three US states, promises high-intensity competition.
Matilda’s playmaker Mary Fowler
One player to watch is Mary Fowler, who has been in exceptional form for Manchester City in the Women’s Super League (WSL). The 22-year-old recently became the first WSL player to record two or more goal involvements in four consecutive matches, scoring three goals and providing four assists in her last four games. Fans will be eager to see if she can carry that momentum into the Matildas’ campaign.
The SheBelieves Cup will be streamed live and exclusive on Paramount+, with subscriptions starting from $6.99 per month or $61.99 annually.
