Manchester United among teams to play in seven-a-side women's tournament
World Sevens Football event has a $5m prize pot

Manchester United will compete in the inaugural edition of a lucrative, new women's seven-a-side series from 21-23 May, alongside Bayern Munich, Ajax and Benfica, with the remaining four of the eight competing teams still to be confirmed.

The new competition, named World Sevens Football, which has a $5m (£3.75m) prize pool per event, with half understood to be set to go to the winners, is being staged in Estoril, Portugal in the run-up to this season's Women's Champions League final, and will be followed by another eight-team event – featuring a different set of clubs from around the world – in North America later this year.

The competition will be broadcast live by the streaming platform Dazn and, for each individual match, teams can name a squad of 14 players with rolling subs, and can take a squad of up to 25 players overall to the tournament, to enable significant squad rotation. Each is 30 minutes long with 15-minute halves. The new event is being funded by $100m of investment over a five-year period, backed by the US-based philanthropist Jennifer Mackesy, co-owner of the NWSL club Gotham FC.
