Quite possibly, but it must be said this is shocking behaviour from Victoria, and I would not be shocked if Victoria is on the hook for quite a lot of compensation to CGF. CGF will, I suspect run back to Birmingham and Glasgow to see is there a way out of the mess - but this is actually worse than Durban, and second successive games were the host has had to pull the plug.

First they need to fix their gender problem. As far as I'm aware World Netball still refuses to sanction international netball for men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is also in the context of 2018 (where there was, realistically, only one viable bid) and 2030 (where it is very difficult to find an interested bidder).

Netball has no real interest in joining the Olympics, as evidenced by their complete lack of effort in developing the men’s game.
