November 5th, 2022Victoria nets goal for sports capital title

Victoria looks set to cement its status as Australia’s sporting capital with a ground-breaking new partnership between Netball Australia and the state government.

In a $15 million partnership with Visit Victoria which will run until June 2027, Premier Daniel Andrews has announced the Australian 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.

Premier Daniel Andrews: “Victoria is our nation’s sporting capital and its best tourist destination – it’s only right we launch this new partnership to back elite netball in Australia and promote our state to the world.”
