(Reuters) - The England women's team will not participate in the annual SheBelieves Cup next year due to "uncertainties" around the COVID-19 pandemic situation in the United States, British media reported on Thursday.

England have taken part in the invitational round-robin tournament every year since its inception in 2016 and were crowned champions last year when they topped the standings ahead of hosts United States, Japan and Brazil.
