After finishing runners-up in the Vitality Netball World Cup 2019 in Liverpool, and following their recent Quad Series victory, the Australian Diamonds have their sights set on taking back the Netball World Cup crown from the New Zealand Silver Ferns.
A Netball World Cup was held in Australia in 2015, 2011 and 2007. Out of the 16 nations participating in the tournament, strong contenders South Africa and England, as well as emerging netball nations Malawi and Jamaica, will be sure to test the Diamonds for the honor of lifting the Netball World Cup – the ultimate prize in World Netball.
SBS Director of Sport, Ken Shipp said: “We’re pleased to be able to broadcast the Vitality Netball World Cup 2o23 finals matches exclusive and free-to-air for Australians on SBS and SBS On Demand. Netball has a fantastic grassroots following in Australia, and we’re strong supporters of women’s sport.
“With the Aussie side in great form and looking to take home the win after 2019’s narrow miss, it’s sure to be an exciting competition.”
