The USWNT's five-year reign as SheBelieves Cup champions ended on Wednesday, but there are reasons to be optimistic for the team's future

Despite a 2-1 loss to Japan, Emma Hayes remains optimistic about the USWNT's future, highlighting squad progress and promising development toward the World Cup.

That 17-match streak ended on Wednesday when Japan overcame the U.S. 2–1 in the finale of the 2025 SheBelieves Cup at Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego. While losing never feels good, there is some context to this defeat.

The US Women’s National Team’s 18-match unbeaten run under coach Emma Hayes came to an end on Thursday with a 2-1 defeat to Japan in the SheBelieves Cup.

The United States women’s soccer team missed the chance to claim a sixth consecutive SheBelieves Cup title after losing 2-1 to Japan in Wednesday’s tournament finale.

I expect it to be a very, very difficult match,” said Emma Hayes prior to yesterday’s clash against Japan in the SheBelieves Cup. Deep down, the English tactician was right—we all know how it turned out for the US Women’s National Team.
