Returning officials and the tournament field
SportsRivo cross-referred the recently issued World Netball appointments with their 2025 Singlife Nations Cup appointment list. Bee Ling Yu, Eranga Sithara, Jessica Teng and Kwan Yee Tang are on both lists. While it is not known which matches the officials will work, publication of the appointments shows consistency in World Netball’s officiating plans. For this event, Netball Singapore has named Malaysia, Samoa, Singapore, Singapore A, the UAE and Zimbabwe. The event will be played at the OCBC Arena, with placement play after the group matches. The schedule provides context for World Netball’s new appointments.
