Brentford will host the World Sevens event while Villa and Man Utd enter

Aston Villa, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham, Everton and London City Lionesses will take part in this year’s Women’s World Sevens tournament, which will be hosted at Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium.

This is the third stage of the tournament, which will be hosted in England for the first time, having been held in Portugal and the United States in 2025.

Manchester United are taking part in the competition for the second time, which runs from May 28-30, finishing a day before the Women’s FA Cup final at Wembley.

The remaining two clubs, who will all be from the Women’s Super League, will be confirmed this month.

“It’s a great opportunity to be part of something a little different in the women’s game and we’re looking forward to it,” Villa managing director Maggie Murphy said.

Tottenham Hotspur Women’s managing director, Andy Rogers, said: “We are excited to take on a brand new challenge. The World Sevens is a fast-paced competition that can offer us new perspectives on the pitch, while also bringing the fans ever closer to the action.”

Previous events in Estoril and Fort Lauderdale provided a prize pool of $5m (£3.76m) spread among its eight teams – but this will be lower this time, with a total of $1.5m (£1.1m).

The winner will earn $500,000 (£372,000), while the runners-up will receive $250,000 (£186,000).

Teams finishing in the top four will see their prize money split equally, with 50% going directly to the players and staff competing, and the other half going to the club to distribute as they see fit.

Brentford have hosted high-profile matches at previous women’s football tournaments, including Euro 2022 and the 2026 Champions Cup.
