NWSL's Kansas City Current, San Diego Wave Plan Play $5M World Sevens Football Tournament in Florida

The World Sevens Football (W7F) will hold its inaugural North American 7v7 women's soccer tournament from December 5-7, 2025, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, featuring two National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) teams, San Diego Wave FC and Kansas City Current. These teams will join elite clubs from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia, competing for a $5 million prize pool, one of the largest in women's football. The tournament format includes fast-paced 7v7 matches with group and knockout stages, and will be broadcast globally by DAZN. W7F aims to elevate women's football by offering more playing opportunities and blending soccer with entertainment elements like DJ sets and smoke cannons. The tournament follows the first successful W7F event held in Portugal earlier in 2025, which featured top European clubs and was won by Bayern Munich. W7F is also planning an outside capital raise to expand its global reach, backed by committed investors aiming to invest significantly in women’s soccer over the next five years.
