The Tournament of Nations was a global invitational tournament for national teams in women's soccer in non-World Cup and non-Olympic years hosted by the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) in several American cities.[1] The inaugural tournament was held in 2017.
The 2021 edition would have been a pre-Olympics tournament due to the rescheduling of the Tokyo Olympics.[2] On May 6, 2021, however, the USSF announced that it would no longer hold Tournament of Nations because recent changes in international windows by FIFA made a round-robin tournament unfeasible.[3]
Format
[edit]The tournament had been an invitational event, allowing four nations to compete against one another. The tournament was conducted via a round-robin system, with the nation finishing at the top of the table being declared the tournament champions.[4] The format was the same as the other women's invitational event run by the USSF, the SheBelieves Cup.[5]
