HOUSTON — The annual SheBelieves Cup is back for its 10th year, kicking off the U.S. women’s national team’s matches in 2025. It will also be the USWNT’s first tournament since winning gold at the Paris Olympics last summer.

The Chelsea FC forward is finally playing consistently on the pitch after a long road back from an ACL injury she sustained in 2022. After extensive rehab and some setbacks with soreness that kept her off the 2024 Olympics, the Brazilian-American is back in the mix for the national team for the first time since June 2024.

The 25-year-old impressed in her well-rounded 64-minute comeback before being subbed off for Lynn Biyendolo. As Macario left the pitch, she shared an embrace with USA head coach Emma Hayes, who was previously head coach of Chelsea when Macario signed for the club in 2023.
