The Women's World Sevens tournament will be held at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium in England from May 28-30, 2025. This marks the first time the tournament is hosted in England, with Aston Villa making their debut and Manchester United returning for a second time. The event will feature a total prize pool of $1.5 million (£1.1 million), with the winner receiving $500,000 (£372,000) and the runners-up $250,000 (£186,000). The tournament format includes rolling substitutions, no offsides, and matches played on smaller pitches, promoting a more dynamic style of play. Previous tournaments held in Estoril, Portugal, and Fort Lauderdale, USA, had higher prize money, which has been reduced as organizers reassess fund distribution. The event aims to bring flair and creativity to women's football, complemented by festival-like activities off the pitch. Matches will be broadcast on DAZN.
