It’s just a matter of minutes before the 2025 SheBelieves Cup finally begins. The excitement for this revered exhibition will finally end after USWNT kicks off its journey against Colombia. With either side looking to make their way into the game, the hosts have caught the attention by making a unique change in the team’s leadership roles, despite the presence of Lindsey Heaps.
Apparently, the Stars and Stripes will be led by none other than Emily Sonnett. This update comes after Emma Hayes finally unveiled her strong starting XI that will be facing the South American side. Interestingly, what caught the eye of many was to see Sonnett getting to wear the captain’s armband.
This is indeed a surprising move, considering the supporters have seen Lindsey Heaps (formerly Horan) lead the 4x World Champions.
