Aston Villa, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have been confirmed for this year's Women's World Sevens tournament, which will be staged at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium.

Now in its third edition, the tournament makes its English debut having previously been held in Portugal and the United States in 2025.

Manchester United return for a second appearance, while Aston Villa will compete for the first time. The event runs from 28-30 May, concluding the day before the Women's FA Cup final at Wembley.

The remaining participating clubs — all drawn from the Women's Super League — will be announced over the coming weeks.

"It's a great opportunity to be part of something a little different in the women's game and we're looking forward to it," said Villa's managing director Maggie Murphy.

Andy Rogers, managing director of Tottenham Hotspur Women, added: "We're excited to take on a brand new challenge. The World Sevens is a fast-paced competition which can present us with new perspectives on the pitch, while also bringing the fans ever closer to the action."

The prize money on offer has been scaled back from previous editions. While the tournaments in Estoril and Fort Lauderdale distributed a combined pool of $5m (£3.76m) across eight teams, the total prize fund this time stands at $1.5m (£1.1m).

The winners will take home $500,000 (£372,000), with runners-up receiving $250,000 (£186,000).

For clubs finishing in the top four, prize money will be split equally — with half paid directly to the players and staff involved, and the remainder returned to the club to allocate as it sees fit.

The Gtech Community Stadium is no stranger to major women's football occasions, having previously hosted matches at Euro 2022 and the 2026 Champions Cup.

The tournament was co-founded by American entrepreneurs Jennifer Mackesy and Justin Fishkin.

Mackesy, a minority owner of both Gotham FC and Chelsea, is among the investors who have committed $100m to the competition over five years.

The reduced prize fund reflects an ongoing review by World Sevens organisers into how best to allocate funds across their global programme.

WSL clubs Manchester United and Manchester City featured in the inaugural edition in Estoril last May, which was won by Bayern Munich, who collected £1.8m ($2.5m) in prize money. San Diego Wave claimed victory at the subsequent North American event in December.

English clubs remain the highest earners in women's football globally, and according to analysis by Deloitte published in January, Arsenal lead the way.
