The story
International Netball Festival Fiji in Lautoka
The International Netball Festival brings regional and Fijian teams to Lautoka for a multi-day tournament built on netball's deep popularity in Fiji's school and community sport culture. With matches spread across several courts and a crowd of families, school groups and club supporters rather than tourists, it offers a genuinely local sporting event. Expect outdoor courts, informal food stalls and a schedule that runs on local time.
Netball is arguably Fiji's most widely played women's team sport, and the International Netball Festival brings that popularity into a dedicated multi-day competition hosted in Lautoka, Fiji's second-largest city and a traditional stronghold of the sport outside the capital.
