The Fiji Men’s Netball team etched their name in history by clinching the Men’s Netball Nations Series title with a dramatic 55-54 victory over world number one, Australia, in the final. This remarkable achievement is even more significant as it marks Fiji’s return to international competition after a 20-year absence, their last appearance being in 2004.

Learning from this setback, the Fijian squad came back stronger and more determined for the final showdown.

Despite trailing after the first quarter, Fiji demonstrated immense resilience and skill, steadily closing the gap. Their relentless effort and strategic play kept the Australians under pressure. In the end, Fiji’s grit and determination prevailed, earning them the prestigious Merlion Cup and a place in netball history with an unforgettable victory.
