Withdrawal of hosting rights After seeing off competing bids from Australia and South Africa, Fiji was awarded the hosting rights for the 2007 World Netball Championships in November 2003.http://www.netball.org/news.aspx?id=23 News 2006-12-09 https://web.archive.org/web/20070927020541/http://www.netball.org/news.aspx?id=23 2007-09-27 dead Fiji was the second Pacific nation selected to host the competition. New Zealand debuted the distinction having hosted in 1975 and followed in 1999. During eleven days from 10 July to 21 July 2007, 16 teams contested for the title. Hosting costs became an issue with a forecast of F$3 million. the International Netball Federation (INFA) noted in a press release that the economic gain is significant, as Jamaica's economy had benefited significantly from a commensurate influx of sports tourists. In December 2006, following months of tension, Commander Voreqe (Frank) Bainimarama staged a military coup to unseat the government of Prime Minister Laisenia Qarase. As a direct result of the coup and the political and economic uncertainty it created, on December 8, 2006 the IFNA withdrew Fiji's hosting rights for the 2007 edition. The popularity of netball was expected to have a significant impact in Fiji so withdrawal of hosting rights was a significant action.http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3894869a10,00.html New Zealand, world, sport, business & entertainment news on Stuff.co.nz 2006-12-09 2007-09-30 https://web.archive.org/web/20070930023957/http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3894869a10,00.html dead IFNA announced a new host on December 23, 2006 that New Zealand, who last hosted the tournament in 1999 in Christchurch, would host the tournament during November 2007.

But on 27 January it was decided that Auckland would be the host city for the 2007 competition, with all matches to be played at The Trusts Stadium, Waitakere from 10 to 17 November.Netball: Auckland to host netball world champs https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/netball/netball-auckland-to-host-netball-world-champs/4HZFQ4YHZ7LXSJUPPMAVZPPDII/ 1 August 2026 NZ Herald 26 January 2007 Nations Pool A Pool B Pool C Pool DNew Zealand MalawiWales BotswanaAustralia SamoaTrinidad and TobagoScotlandJamaica Cook Islands Fiji SingaporeEnglandSouth Africa Barbados Malaysia Format The tournament comprised 48 games, held over an 8-day period.
