The fast-paced seven-a side format includes a two-day group-stage round-robin, featuring two groups of four teams. On day three of the tournament, the top two clubs per group will advance to the knockout stage. There will be sixteen matches per tournament, including a third-place match, and of course, a much-anticipated championship match.

Each club will play between three and five games in total, depending on the progress of that club through the tournament, over a three-day period.

Matches are played on a pitch half of the size of a standard 11-a-side football pitch. Each match will last 30 minutes, divided into two halves of 15 minutes each, with extra time for a tie-break. There will be a 5-minute halftime. There are unlimited rolling substitutions and no offside rule.

Established professional clubs from the best leagues across the globe have committed to participating in W7F’s seven-a side tournaments. From that club pool, teams will be chosen to compete.

The tournament will feature eight sides from the club pool. As the series grows, we expect to expand the number of teams competing in each event.

Each match will last 30 minutes divided into two halves of 15 minutes each, with extra time for a tie-break. There will be a 5-minute halftime.

Half of the size of a traditional football pitch.
