Rosters have been dropping for the upcoming SheBelieves Cup tournament, and big names are returning to the pitch after some time off.

Marta will be back for Brazil for the first time since she tore her ACL during the 2022 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) season. She’ll be joined by Debinha, who recently signed with the Kansas City Current as well as new Chicago Red Stars signing Julia Bianchi, also of the NWSL.

Canada released a pre-camp roster on Tuesday as well and will hold a five-day camp leading into the tournament that will feature mostly out-of-season athletes. The final SheBelieves Cup roster for Canada will be announced ahead of its first match on Feb. 16.

Megan Rapinoe returns to the United States side, after missing the USWNT’s trip to New Zealand in January. Another notable return to camp is Chicago Red Stars defender Tierna Davidson, who is in the final stages of returning from an ACL injury and will take part in camp before the tournament begins. Davidson however will not be on the final tournament roster.

Japan will also be competing in the SheBelieves Cup, but have as of yet to drop a roster for the tournament.

The 2023 SheBelieves Cup will kick off in Orlando, Florida on Feb. 16, then will head to Nashville, Tennessee for two games on Feb. 19, concluding in Frisco, Texas on Feb. 22.
