- The World Sevens Football , an international 7v7 women’s soccer competition, launched on May 21, 2025, in Estoril, Portugal, with eight leading European clubs battling for a $5 million reward.
- The tournament was created to increase funding in women's soccer, engage a younger audience, and enhance the public profile of both teams and athletes as the sport gains global popularity.

- The temporary manager of Manchester City, Nick Cushing, characterized the tournament as a fast-paced and physically demanding competition, adding that the format complements the team’s preference for an attacking style of play.
- The event concluded its first day on a positive note, and organizers aim to expand the competition with more clubs globally, including from the U.S. And Mexico, in future editions.
