The 2026 SheBelieves Cup began on Sunday in Nashville, marking the tournament’s eleventh edition. Canada started its journey against Colombia, while the U.S. women’s national team was set to face Argentina in the day’s second match.
Canada Ends Scoreless Streak with 4-1 Victory Over Colombia
Canada’s women’s national team kicked off their 2026 campaign with a strong 4–1 win against Colombia, ending a five-game losing streak.
After a tough finish to 2025, which saw the team go five months without scoring, Coach Casey Stoney’s squad showed a renewed effort on offense, despite some early struggles. After a shaky start, Canada found their rhythm. In the 31st minute, Vanessa Gilles scored with a header from a corner taken by Janine Sonis, breaking Canada’s 485-minute scoring drought and easing the pressure on the team.
