What is World Sevens?

World Sevens Football is a fast-paced women’s seven-a-side tournament designed to bring an entertaining twist to the traditional games we see throughout the season.

The competition features eight clubs competing across a three-day event in London at the Gtech Community Stadium - this is the third edition of the tournament, with the first in Portugal last summer and the second in December 2025 in Florida.

Matches are played on smaller pitches, with games lasting just 30 minutes split into two halves. Teams are divided into two groups before the top sides advance to the knockout stages and final.

The format allows unlimited rolling substitutions and does not enforce the offside rule, encouraging attacking football throughout.

World Sevens was launched in 2025 as a global women’s football series, with the initial appeal being the sizeable prize money pool of $5m for the first two editions.

The tournament was co-founded by American entrepreneurs Justin Fishkin and Jennifer Mackesy, with the latter owning a minority stake in Chelsea Women and being co-owner of National Women's Soccer League club Gotham FC.

This year's prize pot is much lower, at $1.5m, with the winner taking $500,000 compared to first edition winner Bayern Munich's $2.5m.

The tournament brings festival-style entertainment alongside the shorter matches to attract new audiences to the women’s game.

This year, all eight clubs are English - Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Everton, London City Lionesses, West Ham United & newly-relegated Leicester City will battle it out in Brentford.
