The matches are played on half a football pitch, and the goals are slightly smaller than standard. Unlimited substitutions are allowed during the games, and every match will produce a winner. If the score is level after thirty minutes of play, a five-minute extra time will follow. During extra time, teams play five-a-side.

A total of eight teams will take part in the tournament. Alongside Ajax, the line-up includes the likes of Manchester United, Benfica, and Bayern Munich. The eight clubs will be divided into two groups of four. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals.

During the same period as the World Sevens Football tournament, Ajax will also participate in the Eredivisie Cup in the Netherlands.

Her days are coloured by vinyl records, many passions, and conversations about art. And yet, when the match begins, only one thing matters: the moment when she can make the difference. Ahead of FC Twente - Ajax Women, next Monday, we sit down for an in-depth conversation with the goalkeeper.
