World Netball (WN) has today announced that Vivian Koster has been elected as the new Oceania Regional Director.
Koster was elected by her Regional Federation, Oceania Netball, and will now sit on the WN Board for a term of four years.
The newly elected Oceania Regional Director has two decades of sports administration experience, holding a Post Graduate Diploma in Social Policy and Administration and a Master of Arts from the University of the South Pacific.
Koster was also the first ever Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Netball Fiji, a role she held from 2021 to December 2024.
Koster will replace Wainikiti (Kiti) Bogidrau, who sadly passed away at the start of this year.
Speaking on being elected and continuing to follow in Kiti’s footsteps, Koster said: “I am overwhelmed at the support of Oceania Netball and the trust they have in me to represent them on the World Netball Board.
“I recognise that I stand on the shoulders of those before me, in particular, the late Wainikiti Bogidrau, who was not just a netball colleague but a great friend.
“I was fortunate to journey with her through netball in Fiji and Oceania, and I continue to learn from her in this new space.
“I look forward to robust discussions and ensuring that the voice of our Members, especially those that struggle but continue to fight hard for the sport, are heard.”
