Building the foundation for the future of Nigerian netball.
The Nigeria Netball Federation is the national governing body responsible for the administration, development and advancement of netball in Nigeria.
Our work is focused on building the foundations of a stronger national game — developing participation, creating pathways for talent, strengthening competition and establishing the structures required for Nigerian netball to grow.
We believe the future of Nigerian netball begins at the grassroots. That means creating opportunities for more young people to discover the game, developing coaches and officials, supporting clubs and schools, and building a clear pathway from first participation to national representation.
Start at the grassroots. Build the pathway. Grow the game.
We are building the people, structures and pathways that Nigerian netball needs to grow.
From schools and clubs to coaches, officials, players and national teams, the Federation works to create a connected system in which every part of the game can develop.
Our focus is not simply on producing teams. It is on creating the conditions that allow participation to grow, talent to be identified and developed, competition to become stronger, and Nigerian players to progress towards the highest levels of the sport.
A stronger national game starts with stronger foundations.
The Nigeria Netball Federation is committed to building a sustainable national netball system — one that gives more Nigerians the opportunity to participate, develop and compete.
The ambition is clear: grow the game from the grassroots, strengthen the pathway and create the foundation for Nigerian netball to compete with confidence on the national, continental and international stage.

Building the game together.
The growth of Nigerian netball will take more than the Federation alone. It will take people, organisations and institutions willing to invest in participation, development and opportunity.
Strong partnerships create stronger pathways — from the first time a young person discovers netball to the moment they step onto a national stage.
GRASSROOTS DEVELOPMENT
Support initiatives that introduce netball to more young people, schools and communities and help create sustainable pathways into the sport.
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Help create opportunities for players to develop their skills, gain experience and progress through the Nigerian netball pathway.
COMPETITION
Support competitions, events and competitive opportunities that give players, teams and officials the experience required to grow the standard of the game.
NATIONAL TEAMS
Contribute to the development and preparation of Nigerian representative teams as they compete nationally, regionally and internationally.
EQUIPMENT & FACILITIES
Help improve access to the equipment, playing environments and facilities required for people to learn, train and compete.
EDUCATION & CAPACITY
Support coaches, officials, administrators, educators and other people whose knowledge and leadership help build the sport.
Different strengths. One game.
We welcome conversations with organisations and individuals whose resources, expertise, platforms or networks can contribute to the development of netball in Nigeria.
Public institutions and agencies supporting sport, education, youth and community development.
Companies looking to support sport, communities, young people and meaningful national development.
Schools, universities and educational institutions helping introduce and develop the game.
Sports organisations, clubs, federations, academies and technical partners.
Media organisations and platforms helping tell the story of Nigerian netball and its people.
Foundations, NGOs and development organisations working around participation, inclusion, youth and opportunity.
Partnerships should move the game forward.
We are interested in partnerships that create practical value for the development of netball and the people who participate in it.
Every partnership should have a clear reason for contributing to the growth of the game.
We look for opportunities that can create meaningful value for players, communities, teams and the wider sport.
Partnerships should complement the Federation's responsibility to develop and advance netball in Nigeria.
Where possible, we seek relationships capable of contributing beyond a single event or moment.
