World Sevens Football

World Sevens Football features a pitch half the size of a regulation (11-a-side) pitch and goals that are 2m tall and 5.5m wide. There is no offside rule. Games are played in two halves of fifteen minutes each, with rolling substitutions from an unlimited squad (with fourteen players for each match). In the case of games being tied, they go to 5 minutes extra time, and then sudden-death penalties.^[2] The organisers devised the format with the aim to appeal to "a new generation of fans."^[3][1]

Tournaments are invitational – with mainstream top-level women's football teams applying to be included – and feature eight teams split into two groups of four, with the groups followed by semi-finals and the final. The competition is not regulated by FIFA, and takes place outside the FIFA International Match Calendar, meaning there are no player release obligations for the clubs.^[3] The inaugural tournament was streamed live on DAZN.^[4] World Sevens Football was founded by Jennifer Mackesy and Justin Fishkin.^[5] Its player advisory council is composed of former internationals Anita Asante, Laura Georges, Tobin Heath, Kelley O'Hara, and Caroline Seger.^[6]

The inaugural tournament took place from 21–23 May 2025 at the Estádio António Coimbra da Mota in Estoril, Portugal. The site and dates were chosen due to their proximity to the 2024–25 UEFA Women's Champions League final, set to be held in Lisbon on 24 May. Participating teams were finalised during the later stages of the Champions League knock-out rounds, as only the two finalists were ineligible to take part.^[3]

In April 2025, Ajax, Bayern Munich, Benfica, and Manchester United were all confirmed as participants.^[7] In May 2025, Manchester City, AS Roma, Paris Saint-Germain and Rosengård joined the tournament.^[8][9][10]
