Manchester United Women will take part in World Sevens Football for a second straight year, after the huge success of 2025’s event.
The innovative seven-a-side tournament will take place from 28 to 30 May at Brentford FC’s Gtech Community Stadium in West London.
It will form part of a blockbuster weekend of women’s football ahead of the 2026 Adobe Women’s FA Cup final on 31 May.
The W7F London edition will follow successful events in Estoril, Portugal, and Fort Lauderdale, USA, in 2025. It will showcase eight teams from the WSL.
Matches will be played as 7v7 on a reduced‑size natural‑grass pitch, 30‑minute games, and rolling substitutions designed to keep the tempo high and manage player load.
The event will combine a $1.5million prize pool with a strong focus on atmosphere and experience, offering fans multiple matches and clubs in one venue over a single weekend.

Ameesh Manek, United’s Director of Football Operations & Women’s Football, said:
“Everyone is looking forward to returning to the World Sevens Football tournament. It is an excellent format that I know the team really enjoyed last year.
“Naturally, all of our focus right now is on finishing our WSL campaign strongly but we hope that this tournament will provide an exciting finale to the season.”
Jen Mackesy, co‑founder of World Sevens Football, said:
“In Estoril and Fort Lauderdale, we proved that a short, sharp, 7v7 format can deliver world‑class football, incredible fan engagement, and real value for clubs and players.
“World Sevens Football London Edition is the next step, showcasing one of the game’s leading leagues and creating something that is tailored to their clubs, their players, and their fans, while staying true to the energy and creativity that define W7F.”
