World Sevens Football (W7F) is staging its first-ever London Edition next month, as May's three-day tournament marks the seven-a-side women's soccer tournament's third iteration — and second with Manchester United.
The famed UK team finished as runners-up in the inaugural 2025 W7F in Portugal. Aston Villa joins the Red Devils as the first two clubs confirmed for the London Edition, with six additional WSL teams expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
"Everyone is looking forward to returning," said Manchester United Director of Football Operations & Women’s Football Ameesh Manek.
"Al of our focus right now is on finishing our WSL campaign strongly, but we hope that this tournament will provide an exciting finale."
W7F features 30-minute 7v7 matches with rolling substitutions. Germany's Bayern München won the first title in May 2025, before the San Diego Wave claimed the second the following December.
This year, organizers adjusted the prize pool from $5 million to $1.5 million. The decision came as they analyze the best spending strategies in the growing women's football market. The winning team receives $500,000 while runners-up earn $250,000 each.
"World Sevens Football London Edition is the next step, showcasing one of the game's leading leagues," said tournament co-founder Jen Mackesy.
