The San Diego Wave and Kansas City Current will represent the U.S. and the NWSL in the inaugural World Sevens Football (W7F) Americas tournament.

The event, featuring seven-player lineups, has a $5 million purse and will take place from Dec. 5-7 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Kansas City Current and San Diego Wave FC to our exhilarating 7v7 tournament, where they will compete against the top clubs from across the Americas,” W7F CEO Sarah Cummins said in a news release on Tuesday.

“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.”

The Current and Wave will join Canada’s AFC Toronto, Mexico’s Club America and Tigres Femenil, Brazil’s Clube de Regatas do Flamengo and Colombia’s Deportivo Cali Femenino.

The winning team will collect $2 million, with $1 million going to the runner-up and $700,000 to third place.

W7F staged its first event earlier this year in Portugal, with Germany’s Bayern Munich defeating Manchester United 2-1 in the May 23 final.
