Returning for their third appearance at TST, the North Carolina Courage are on a mission to win it all. As the hometown team, they carry the advantage of playing at WakeMed Soccer Park — their home ground in Cary. Familiar surroundings, local support, and a proud soccer community behind them give the Courage extra motivation to keep the trophy in Cary this year. In their first TST appearance, they made an incredible run all the way to the championship match before falling to the U.S. Women’s team. Last year didn’t reach those same heights, but the experience only added fuel to their fire. Now, with tournament knowledge, elite talent, and home-field energy on their side, the Courage are determined to finish the job. Expect a focused, battle-tested squad ready to make a powerful push for the million-dollar prize and finally lift the TST trophy on their own field.
