The official opening ceremony of the 2025 Africa Netball Cup is currently underway at Griffin Saenda Sports Complex in Lilongwe.
Minister of Youth, Sports and Culture Patricia Kaliati is the guest of honour. Among other notable names present are officials from Africa Netball, Netball Association of Malawi President Vitumbiko Gubuduza, and Local Organizing Committee Chairperson Limbani Matola.
Nine (9) countries are taking part in this year’s tournament: Malawi (the host), Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Botswana, and Eswatini.
Malawi last hosted the prestigious Africa Netball Cup in 2013, which the Queens won in Blantyre.
This year’s tournament is exceptional as it also involves men’s teams. Adding excitement to the occasion, Malawi Queens play against Botswana at 19:00 hours this evening.
