For the netball community, pre-sale tickets to the 2027 Netball World Cup went on sale today, marking a big milestone for the event.
The World Cup may be held in Sydney, but WA’s special connection will make it feel closer than ever.
Homegrown talent
West Australian athletes will help bridge the distance, even with the tournament on the other side of the country. And hey, it’s a great excuse for a holiday!
Squads aren’t locked in yet, but plenty of West Australians are working hard to earn their place on court.
Sunday Aryang
The Australian netball community’s heart broke in 2025 when Aryang suffered an ACL injury. Aryang grew up playing at Swan Districts Netball Association and is also an example of an athlete who found success through the Netball WA pathway. In exciting news, the Fever defender has been working her way back, completing her first run a couple of weeks ago. A determined competitor, Aryang is set to return to the court for Fever in 2027 and will be eager for a World Cup call-up.
Courtney Bruce
Bruce has joined the exclusive club of Australian Diamonds centurions, playing her 100th international game during the Constellation Cup. The Southern Districts Netball Association product has become a vital part of the Diamonds’ line-up and will be looking to bring that experience to the World Cup.
Sophie Garbin
The current starting goal shooter for the Australian Diamonds is a Kalgoorlie girl who moved to Perth at 13. Garbin played for the Coastal Sparks in the WA Netball League and the Western Sting in the Australian Netball League. She is the type of shooter opposition countries will be making plans around.
Donnell Wallam
Wallam returned to international netball during the Constellation Cup and will be looking to earn a place at the World Cup. She grew up in Harvey and made history as the third Indigenous netballer to represent the Australian Diamonds. A WA Netball League product and two-time MVP winner, Wallam is an example of hard work and determination.
Honourable mentions
Fever midcourter Alice Teague-Neeld has also been named in the extended Diamonds squad, giving the Netball WA community another reason to get behind the World Cup.
International athletes
Fellow Fever athletes Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard, Shanice Beckford, Kadie-Ann Dehaney, Fran Williams and Maddy Gordon will all be vying for places in their respective countries’ squads.
