American Shannon MacMillan scored seven times in 2002, while Germany’s Inka Grings hit that mark eight years later. 16 — Christine Sinclair, who will be suiting up in her seventh edition of the Algarve Cup, was just 16 when she debuted at the competition. She scored three goals, as Canada finished fifth. In total, she’s scored 17 times at the tournament since 2000.
26 — This is the 26th edition of the Algarve Cup, with the Americans winning it a record 10 times. Other than the hosts, Portugal, the only other nation to take part every year is Denmark, with 12 top-four finishes, but never first place.. The youngest player is 17-year-old Jordyn Huitema, who has already made 16 appearances for the senior side, scoring three times.
