SA to host first ever Netball World Cup on African soil in 2023
South Africa has won the rights to host the 2023 Netball World Cup, the first time the competition will be held on the African continent.
The competition will be staged at the International Convention Centre in Cape Town.
INF President, the Hon. Molly Rhone said that Netball South Africa had delivered a compelling proposal that edged out the other bidders. It’s understood the province and sport’s governing body has made significant promises to develop the sport.
“We were delighted to receive two exceptional bids and the INF Board was satisfied that both Netball New Zealand and Netball South Africa would be capable of hosting a successful and thrilling NWC2023. The INF Board decided that the significant investment that the South African Government and Western Cape were prepared to make over the next four years in netball facilities and coaching programmes in South Africa, the African continent and beyond would deliver a greater impact on the development of global netball.”
