The Botswana Netball Association (BONA) will host an invitational tournament on Sunday. The tournament comes after the postponement of the Africa Netball Championships, which were scheduled for Namibia.

BONA president, Tebogo Lebotse-Sebego, said Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania and Swaziland have confirmed their participation and join the hosts for the tournament, which ends next week Wednesday.

She said the invitational tournament is a great opportunity to test their hosting abilities, as the country prepares to organise the 2017 World Youth Netball Cup. She explained that the idea is for BONA to get many hosting chances ahead of the 2017 World tournament, adding that in netball, the significant costs relating to hosting do not lie with the host.  “Participating teams pay for their accommodation, meals and transport. The competing teams equally share the costs of international umpires,” she said.
