Your NSW Swifts and the Queensland Firebirds play in a crucial Suncorp Super Netball Round 12 clash at 2pm on Sunday at Ken Rosewall Arena in Sydney Olympic Park.
The game also doubles as our annual First Nations Match which takes place during National Reconciliation Week. The Swifts will once again don a beautiful design by proud Yuin woman Rheanna Lotter.
To make the most of your time with the Swifts, here is your Game Day Guide.
ABOUT OUR FIRST NATIONS GAME
This game takes place during National Reconciliation Week: a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.
The Theme of this year’s Reconciliation Week is All In, and with Netball NSW currently engaged in a range of initiatives to ensure netball is a place of fun, safety and opportunity for First Nations peoples, the Swifts are delighted to play their part.
The game is a must-win to stay in contention for Finals in 2026 and after a big week of Origin action in Olympic Park, what better opponent to welcome than our rivals from Queensland.
