W7F has promised “fast, high-scoring matches, global exposure, and game-changing financial opportunities for players and clubs”.
But some have voiced concern about the proximity of the tournament to Euro 2025, which starts just six weeks after World Sevens.
In March, before the participating teams were announced, England manager Sarina Wiegman said she was worried about World Sevens fitting into the football calendar, calling it a “challenge”.
However, she also recognised that some players would get “meaningful minutes” to “be in the right shape for the Euros”.
Manchester United players Maya le Tissier and Elisabeth Terland told BBC Sport they would like to play in World Sevens, and have since been named in the 20-strong squad alongside the likes of Ella Toone, Leah Galton and Grace Clinton.
Manager Marc Skinner said some of the prize money would be used to recruit new players.
“For our team, where we don’t have Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester City’s budget, it’s huge if we’re going to be successful,” he said.
Manchester City have named a travelling squad of 15 for the tournament, including senior England players Jess Park, Laura Coombs and Laura Blindkilde Brown.
