The U.S. women's national team will return to action in February as the sixth edition of the SheBelieves Cup gets underway in Florida.

Vlatko Andonovski's side goes into the tournament off the back of two wins in January, when it beat Colombia twice in a doubleheader.

Its February fixtures, however, will provide sterner tests for the USWNT ahead of this summer's Olympic Games.

Who is playing in the tournament in 2021?

Argentina and Canada will be making their first appearances at the SheBelieves Cup this year, while Brazil returns for a second time after finishing fourth in 2019.

The USWNT has only faced Argentina three times in its history, their latest meeting coming at the Brasilia Tournament in 2014, when the U.S. emerged as a 7-0 victor.

Neighbor Canada, however, is a regular rival of the host nation, with the USWNT having faced no team more in its history. Brazil is also a regular opponent, sitting seventh on that list.

Japan was originally scheduled to participate for a third successive year but pulled out in January because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. England has played at the tournament every year since its inception, winning the title in 2019, but announced last year that it wouldn't be travelling to the U.S. to compete in 2021.

What is the SheBelieves Cup?

The SheBelieves Cup is an invitational tournament that was founded in 2016 and is hosted by the United States every year.

It takes on a round-robin format, with each team playing each other once over the course of the first FIFA international window of the year. The winner of the tournament is the team that tops the standings at the end of the six matches.

The USWNT has won the tournament three times, in 2016, 2018 and 2020. France was victorious back in 2017 and England lifted the trophy in 2019.

Visa, the sponsor of the tournament, will award an MVP trophy to the best player of the 2021 tournament for the second year running. Spain's Alexis Putellas received the accolade last year, the midfielder chosen by a selection of former players from each participating country of the 2020 edition.
