The Fiji Netball Association has accepted with respect and understanding the decision by the International Netball Federation (INF) to cancel the Netball World Youth Cup scheduled to be held in Suva, Fiji from 2 to 11 December this year.
“While we know our main stakeholder, our players, as well as the larger netball family and supporters will be disappointed, we remain focused on the opportunity now to look inwards and provide a platform for our athletes and supporters to have that competitive netball experience here in Fiji until such time we are able to travel to play as well as host either regional or international events,” Netball Fiji President RubyAnn Sorovaki said.
She added, “Netball Fiji will look to seek out further opportunities for international matches when the time is right.”
Netball Fiji supports INF’s vision to host an event here in Fiji in the future.
