Bay FC was well represented on the global stage at the 2026 SheBelieves Cup. After starting the tournament with three players competing for two nations in one of the premier annual events in women’s international soccer, a fourth was added when Bay FC acquired Argentinian captain Aldama Cometti via transfer from French Première Ligue club FC Fleury just moments before Wednesday’s SheBelieves Cup action kicked off.
One of Argentina’s most decorated senior footballers of all-time, Cometti competed against new Bay FC teammates Claire Hutton (United States), Sydney Collins (Canada) and Brooklyn Courtnall (Canada) at this week’s SheBelieves Cup.

United States 1, Colombia 0 – Hutton Rests as U.S. Secures SheBelieves Cup Title
The United States Women’s National Team capped off a perfect run at the SheBelieves Cup on Saturday, defeating Colombia women’s national football team 1–0 to secure the tournament title. Forward Alyssa Thompson delivered the decisive moment in the 82nd minute, finishing a quick exchange with Jaedyn Shaw with a powerful strike into the top corner to lift the United States to victory.
The match was a physical and tightly contested affair, with Colombia creating several first-half chances despite the U.S. holding the majority of possession. Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce and the American defense held firm, shutting out Las Cafeteras and ensuring the United States finished the tournament without conceding a goal. Bay FC midfielder Claire Hutton, who impressed in her first two appearances of the tournament, did not feature in the finale as the U.S. secured its eighth SheBelieves Cup title.
Canada 0 (3), Argentina 0 (2) – Bay FC Defenders Shine Bright as Canada Edges Argentina on Penalty Kicks
Canada women’s national soccer team earned an extra point on the final day of the SheBelieves Cup, defeating Argentina women’s national football team 3–2 in a penalty kick shootout after the teams played to a scoreless draw in regulation on Saturday in Harrison, New Jersey. Goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan made two key saves in the shootout as Canada ultimately secured the result after both sides converted two penalties apiece through the opening four rounds.
Bay FC was well represented in the matchup, with defender Brooklyn Courtnall starting for Canada and fellow Bay FC defender Sydney Collins entering at halftime. For Argentina, Bay FC center back and captain Aldana Cometti anchored a resilient defensive effort that helped hold Canada scoreless through 90 minutes. Argentina goalkeeper Solana Pereyra also delivered several key stops, but Canada ultimately prevailed in penalties when Argentina’s final attempt sailed over the crossbar.

United States 1, Canada 0 – Hutton Starts in Victory Over Bay FC Teammates
Midfielder Claire Hutton started and played 79 minutes for the United States, helping the Americans control much of the match before a 55th-minute strike from Ally Sentnor secured a 1–0 victory. On the Canadian side, defender Sydney Collins earned the start and played 87 minutes, helping keep the match close despite the U.S. holding an 18-6 advantage in shots. Brooklyn Courtnall, meanwhile, didn’t enter the match after earning her first international cap in the SheBelieves Cup opener on Sunday.
The U.S. victory puts the home country ahead in the standings with one match remaining, and a win or draw on Sunday against Colombia would clinch the SheBelieves Cup title for the Americans.
Colombia 1, Argentina 0 – New Bay FC Defender Anchors Backline in Narrow Defeat
News broke at noon that Bay FC had acquired defender Aldana Cometti, and 30 minutes she was on the pitch sporting the captain’s armband for Argentina in the SheBelieves Cup match vs. Colombia. A veteran of two FIFA Women’s World Cups and more than 100 caps with the Argentina Women’s National Team, Cometti played the full 90 minutes for the second straight match, helping keep her club in the match right up to the final whistle.

United States 2, Argentina 0 – Hutton Logs Key Minutes Off the Bench
The United States opened tournament play with a 2–0 victory over Argentina on Sunday in Nashville. Claire Hutton entered at halftime and played the entire second half, logging 45 composed minutes in midfield.
The 20-year-old continues her rapid rise at the international level. A 2025 NWSL Best XI First Team honoree with Kansas City before being acquired by Bay FC last month, Hutton recently made history as the youngest player to captain the U.S. Women’s National Team in the modern era and has quickly become a trusted midfield option for USWNT Head Coach Emma Hayes.
Her performance in Nashville marked another strong step forward as she builds on her growing international resumé.
Canada 4, Colombia 1 – Collins Scores First International Goal, Courtnall Earns First Cap
Canada delivered a commanding 4–1 win over Colombia in its opening SheBelieves Cup match on Sunday, and Bay FC played a starring role.
Sydney Collins scored her first international goal, heading home a rebound in the second half to cap an impressive performance. The goal marked a milestone moment for the defender in her third call-up since joining Bay FC last season.
Brooklyn Courtnall also made history, earning her first senior international cap. The appearance marked her first national team selection since 2022 and her debut at the senior level. Both Collins and Courtnall came on as second-half substitutes, contributing to Canada’s dominant result.
Collins previously helped Canada qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics, earning six caps in 2023, and continues to build on her international experience.
After competing on the international stage at the SheBelieves Cup, Claire Hutton, Sydney Collins, Brooklyn Courtnall and Aldana Cometti will re-join their Bay FC teammates as the club continues its preparations for the 2026 home opener on March 14 against expansion side Denver Summit FC (Buy Tickets).
