""We are thrilled to welcome the Kansas City Current and San Diego Wave FC to our exhilarating 7v7 tournament, where they will compete against top clubs from across the Americas," Sarah Cummins, CEO of W7F, said in a news release. "This high-stakes competition showcases the talent and ambition fueling the women's game today. "We know the fans will come out and cheer on these world-class teams as they compete for the title and a significant prize, reflecting our ongoing commitment to creating opportunities that reward excellence and elevate women's football on the global stage.""
"Adrian Jacob, the head of World Sevens Football, said that the second edition of W7F will be a "bigger, better" production with less "European conservativism" and more fanfare. "We all want to make it faster. We want to make it louder, bigger, brasher, just really embrace it. I think that's what we're going to be doing... "If you go to the States, you've got to be bigger. You've got to put it all out there, really.""
Kansas City Current and San Diego Wave FC will participate in the $5 million World Sevens Football (W7F) tournament Dec. 5–7 at Beyond Bancard Field in Fort Lauderdale. The event uses a 7v7 format with two 15-minute halves, group play and knockout rounds. Participants include Canada’s AFC Toronto, Mexico’s Club América and Tigres Femenil, Brazil’s Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, and Colombia’s Deportivo Cali Femenino. Organizers emphasize a louder, faster production for the U.S. edition and aim to bridge calendar gaps to enable intercontinental competition. Bayern Munich won the inaugural European tournament in May.
