With women’s nations league in uefa and Concacaf version along with the w gold cup does this mean this competition is not going to continue in the long term ?
It's a great question. I don't think they're going to nix SheBelieves Cup just yet, but there is definitely pressure to better account for schedule congestion. Players and club coaches have been vocal about strains in the schedule, as well as the effects on players health with the addition of ever more competition. Emma Hayes in particular is very vocal on accounting for the health of women's athletes, amid an ever busier schedule. It will be interesting to see what gets cut or how they adjust! SheBelieves Cup could be on the chopping block, but not yet I don't think.
Also it seems adding more teams in NWSL like Boston etc will lead to more tension with international breaks and domestic club competitions. Personally I think WSL should be increased to at lease 14 to 16 teams here in England.
