Former England defender Asante said player welfare has been considered in "every aspect" regarding the format of the tournament.

There is also a player advisory council which includes former players Caroline Seger, Anita Asante, Kelley O'Hara and Laura Georges.

"It's short-format games so the distances players will cover and the amount of time they will be doing those physical actions is completely different to an 11v11 game," added Asante.

World Sevens Football's sole purpose is to "drive investment in women's football", said Asante.

"There's a clear connection between Slegers and the players," former Arsenal defender Anita Asante told BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra.
