Venue

The tournament was originally set to be held in Coventry Arena. However, the sport's heightened profile in light of England winning the 2018 tournament led to the National Exhibition Centre being chosen instead.[3]

Five other sports - badminton, boxing, powerlifting, table tennis, and weightlifting - will also take place in the venue.[4]

Twelve nations from at least four CGF regions will qualify for the netball tournament at the 2022 Commonwealth Games:[5][6]
