Global women's seven-a-side football series launched with $100m investment
A lucrative new seven-a-side global women's football series has been announced with the first event set to take place in Portugal from 21-23 May. The new competition has been named the 'World Sevens Football' and it is understood there is a commitment to invest $100m (£77m) in the series over a five-year period. The new series of invitational 'grand slam' tournaments, first reported by the Guardian, will feature $5m prize money per event. It is funded by investment from the US-based philanthropist Jennifer Mackesy, co-owner of the NWSL club Gotham FC, and will be broadcast live by the streaming platform DAZN. The teams involved in the first eight-team competition have not been confirmed, but a different set of clubs will compete in the second event in November-December, which will be staged on a different continent. The winning team at each event will receive $2.5m. The organisers say players will be 'at the heart' of the series and they have been guided by a player advisory council, which is led by the former USWNT winger Tobin Heath and also includes the former Sweden captain Caroline Seger, the former England and Team GB defender Anita Asante, the ex-USA right-back Kelley O'Hara, and the former France defender Laura Georges, who previously spent more than seven years as the secretary general of the French football federation. 'World Sevens Football' has named the former US women's international and Bay FC co-founder Aly Wagner as chief of strategy, and she told the Guardian: 'This is one of those really pivotal moments in women's football, and an opportunity for us to do something unique and different. This is a global series that will travel the world and one of the keys to this is really opening the market and growing the market of women's football in those places. 'The seven-v-seven format is one the players love, it's one of their favourite things to do in training, the small-sided games and it's one that I think fans will end up clamouring for. It's so intense, action-packed and it's all the stuff that players love, one-v-one duels, shots, goals. 'This is going to be a world-class event for these players, they're going to be treated the way we always dreamed of being treated as players, from the moment they step off the plane.' The inaugural tournament will be staged from 21-23 May in Estoril, Portugal, on a grass pitch at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, where it is understood a 'stadium within a stadium' will be built around a half-sized pitch for the seven-a-side games. That is directly in the run-up to this year's Women's Champions League final, being staged nearby in Lisbon, so the two finalists will not be involved in the first event.

The group have been in dialogue with Fifa and Uefa but do not expect to need any governing body's permission to run the series, because seven-a-side is not a codified form of the game.

Kim opens up four-stroke lead in LPGA's season opener
South Korea's Kim A-lim opened up a four-shot lead after producing a dream start in the first round of the LPGA's season-opening Tournament of Champions in Orlando, Florida on Thursday. The event, at Lake Buena Vista, is limited to winners of LPGA Tour events in the past two years but Kim left the likes of Nelly Korda, winner of seven events last season, in her wake with a blistering 7-under par, bogey-free round. Another South Korean, Ko Jin-young, and Thailand's Patty Tavatanakit were tied for second after shooting 3-under rounds of 69. Kim said she had used most of the off-season for physical training, taking time away from technical work and that approach seemed to have worked. "In January I focused on my body, not practising but today really surprised me," she said. "My shot was good, putting was good, everything was good, it was cool," she added, after finishing her round with three birdies on her final five holes. The year's first tournament features the LPGA field playing alongside celebrities, athletes and amateurs. Among the stars playing in the event were former NFL player Marcus Allen, ex-NBA champion Ray Allen and ex-USA national team footballer Landon Donovan. Ireland's Leona Maguire was one of 10 players sitting five strokes behind Kim after a 2-under round of 70 ended with a bogey on her final hole -- the ninth. "I took advantage of the par-5s today apart from nine. Working on a few things. Obviously still fine tuning. It's nice to get a test here to see where the game is at," she said. "I drove the ball pretty well today, which I didn't quite do well enough last year. Made a bit of progress on that. Holed a few nice putts. "Overall it's pretty good. Not too rusty. I would say chipping was a little bit rusty today at times. Not bad for the first round of the year." sev/js
