South Africa – South Africa is set to host the next Netball World Cup in 2023, making it one of the most significant women’s events to be ever hosted on the African continent.

Team South Africa showcased Cape Town and all its attractions and facilities to the world on Friday during a media briefing in Liverpool.
The 2023 Netball World Cup will be hosted in Cape Town at the Cape Town International Convention Centre. Over the years, the country has proven itself worthy of hosting massive international sporting events. A delegation was present at the world cup in Liverpool to observe and learn more to put on a successful tournament in 2023.
Team South Africa narrowly lost out on the Bronze, but they were able to celebrate that Karla Pretorius was named the player of the World Cup. She spoke to SuperSport about the honour.
“I feel very honoured to have been named the best player of the World Cup. You are only as good as those around you, and the team did so well at this World Cup, and even though we won’t return home to South Africa with a medal, I know that we all put our hearts and souls into each and every game in Liverpool and can hold our heads high. This good run obviously was what inspired me to play as well as I did and I am grateful to have been recognised by the tournament and given this very special award.”
