The Finance Hub Super League is the country’s premier tier one netball competition and was added to Netball Fiji’s competition schedule to set the platform for the country’s top netball players to showcase their talents. This year the tournament is serving as a selection platform for players to make either the the Fiji Pearls and Fiji A squads. Announcement of these players will be made at the conclusion of the League. The squads will then go into preparation work for the 2025 international netball season. The tournament will also serve as a preparation platform for the National 21&U squad for the upcoming World Youth Championship next year.
Netball Fiji CEO Vivian Koster said that the tournament has been adjusted this year to give the opportunity to all teams to play home and away games. “Each team will host games at home which will allow more of their fans to cheer for them. It will also allow for our young netballers around the country to watch their favorite players in action. For these reasons we
are grateful to our sponsors FinanceHub for investing in netball and young people and understanding the importance of sport in promoting healthy living and building communities.”
