After seeing off competing bids from Australia and South Africa, Fiji was awarded the hosting rights for the 2007 Netball World Championships in November 2003[1]. The announcement saw Fiji named just the second Pacific nation to host the tournament, after New Zealand hosted the event in 1987 and again in 1999.
16 nations were scheduled to compete over 11 days, from 10 July through 21 July 2007. Despite forecast hosting costs of F$3 million, IFNA noted in a press release that the economic gain is significant, with Jamaica held out as one country whose economy had benefited significantly from a commensurate influx of sports tourists.[2]
Withdrawal of Hosting Rights
In December 2006, following months of tension, Commander Voreqe Bainamarama staged a military coup to unseat the government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase.
As a direct result of the coup and the political and economic uncertainty it created, on December 8 2006 the International Netball Federation (IFNA) withdrew Fiji's hosting rights for the 2007 tournament. The withdrawal is expected to have a significant impact in Fiji due to the popularity of sports such as Netball.[3]
IFNA began an immediate process to identify a new host and, on December 23 2006, announced that New Zealand, who last hosted the tournament in 1999 in Christchurch, will host the tournament during November 2007. It was undecided if Auckland or Christchurch would hold the tournament, as both cities have suitable facilities. But on 27 January it was decided that Auckland will be the host city for the 2007 World Netball Championships [1].The matches will be played at The Trusts Stadium, Waitakere from 10-17 November.[2]
