Victoria will further cement its status as Australia’s sporting capital with a ground-breaking new partnership between Netball Australia and the Andrews Labor Government—making our state the number one supporter of the Australian Diamonds.
In a $15 million partnership with Visit Victoria which will run until June 2027, Premier Daniel Andrews today announced the Diamonds will showcase the nation’s sporting capital with branding on their team kit for home and away tests, while players and coaches will be involved in campaigns to promote Victoria as a fantastic tourism destination.
The world’s top-ranked netball team will also play five test matches and hold their high-performance training camps in Victoria between 2023 and 2026.
The 2023 Suncorp Super Netball Grand Final will be played in Victoria as part of the deal.
Alongside promoting netball at the elite level, the partnership will deliver community initiatives to encourage grassroots participation in the sport, particularly in culturally diverse communities, an official press release said.
Netball boasts the highest level of participation among young women for any sport in Australia—and as one of the nation’s most popular national teams, the Diamonds are an inspiration for women and girls across all levels of the sport.
The partnership builds on the Labor Government’s significant investments in some of the world’s biggest netball events and facilities—including the sold-out Constellation Cup test where the Diamonds emerged victorious over New Zealand, and the redevelopment of the State Netball and Hockey Centre in Parkville, the release added.
