Europe Netball is the main governing body for netball in Europe. It is affiliated to World Netball. It was originally founded in 1989 as the Federation of European Netball Associations. Between 2009 and 2019 it was known as Netball Europe. It is responsible for organising the Netball Europe Open Championships, Europe Netball Open Challenge and Netball World Cup Qualifiers. It also organises competitions for under-17, under-19 and under-21 national teams.
History
[edit]The Federation of European Netball Associations was established in 1989 after the International Federation of Netball Associations decided it wanted to create five regional federations representing Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The first meeting of FENA was held at the Britannia Ringway Hotel, Manchester.[1][2]
Board
[edit]Europe Netball is administrated by a board that includes two former England netball internationals, Lyn Carpenter and Maggie Jackson.[3][4]
