Nigeria's Green Hawks will make history today when they face hosts Kenya in their first-ever international netball competition at the Africa Netball Cup in Nairobi. The landmark encounter will take place at the Kasarani International Stadium Indoor Arena after the tournament's opening ceremony, with the competition also serving as a qualifying series for the 2027 Netball World Cup in Australia. Nigeria had never fielded a national netball team before 2026. The Nigeria Netball Federation was established in February, while the national team was assembled in June, paving the way for the country's rapid entry into international competition.
