Nani will enter a team in the second edition of the seven-on-seven tournament in the United States and its roster will include Mario Balotelli, his teammate on Turkey’s Adana Demirspor.

TBT Enterprises is organizing the tournament, which runs June 5-10 and will expand to 48 teams from 32.

An eight-team women’s event will be launched from June 7-10, also with a $1 million winner-take-all prize, organizers said Wednesday.
