Five players from the North Carolina Courage have been called up to represent their national teams during the February international window. The call-ups involve participation in matches across two major tournaments: the SheBelieves Cup and the UEFA Women’s Nations League.

Jaedyn Shaw will join the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) for the 2025 SheBelieves Cup, competing against Colombia, Australia, and Japan. The tournament is set to feature top-ranked teams within FIFA's top-25 list. "All three of the USWNT’s matches in the SheBelieves Cup will be broadcasted on TBS, Universo, MAX and Peacock." Their matches are scheduled for February 20th against Colombia, February 23rd against Australia, and February 26th against Japan.

Manaka Matsukubo has earned her first senior call-up for Japan after an impressive performance at the U-20 World Cup. She is set to make her debut in this year's SheBelieves Cup with matches lined up against Australia on February 20th, Colombia on February 23rd, and a concluding match against the United States on February 26th.

Denise O’Sullivan will lead Ireland in their UEFA Women’s Nations League campaign as they face Türkiye and Slovenia in Group B2. This competition acts as a precursor for UEFA's qualifying rounds for the upcoming FIFA World Cup in 2027. Ireland's schedule includes a match against Türkiye on February 21st and Slovenia on February 25th.

Feli Rauch will represent Germany as they compete against Netherlands and Austria in Group A1 of the UEFA Women’s Nations League.

Lastly, Aline Gomes has been called up by Brazil but will not participate in any matches during this window. Instead, she joins a training camp that serves as preparation for this summer's Copa América Femenina where Brazil will face off with Colombia, Paraguay, Venezuela, and Bolivia.
