World Netball (WN) has today announced a two-year partnership with KitQueen, which will see the WN officials wear Nike kit.
KitQueen, a distribution partner of Nike team sports products, will supply all WN officials with Nike sports performance clothing and apparel, starting with the Netball World Youth Cup 2025 (NWYC2025) in September.
KitQueen is passionate about diversity and inclusivity in sport, which aligns with WNs values and vision to create a sport that is open to all, whilst Nike is a globally recognised brand that has stood at the forefront of innovation and performance in sports clothing for decades.
Speaking on the new partnership WN CEO, Fiona Harold, said: “We are thrilled to have entered a two-year partnership with KitQueen, meaning our officials will now wear Nike kit.
“Officials are one of the many core contributors to the game of netball and they play a pivotal role in enabling World Netball to achieve its mission of expanding netball’s worldwide reach and impact, and therefore it is key for us to invest in this area.
“Having Nike bespoke kit, thanks to KitQueen, will not only provide our officials with the elite clothing needed to elevate their movement and performance, but it will also ensure they are comfortable and confident whilst doing so.”
Parisha Patel, KitQueen Cofounder, added: “At KitQueen, we’re proud to champion women in sport, and partnering with World Netball marks an exciting step in our mission to elevate female athletes on the global stage.
“This collaboration allows us to deliver high-performance, empowering kit to the world’s best, while continuing to inspire confidence from grassroots to greatness.”
