Washington Spirit players in Feb. 2025 international matches: schedule and how to watch
The start of the NWSL is still weeks away, but Washington Spirit fans can get an early look at some of their favorite players by tuning into the many international matches taking place this month. Spirit players will feature in the She Believes Cup, Pinatar Cup, and UEFA Women’s Nations League over the next two weeks.
Find out how you can follow along below.
She Believes Cup – USA, Colombia, Japan
Though there are some notable Spirit snubs from the U.S. Women’s National Team roster, the increasing international diversity of the squad means that there will be a Spirit player in every match of this year’s She Believes Cup. Center back Tara McKeown could get her first ever cap with the U.S., while Leicy Santos will represent Colombia and Narumi Miura Japan in the six-match, four-team tournament played in three U.S. cities.
