They've been recognised by the IOC since 1995. -

It’s also interesting, and I only noticed it a few minutes ago, that World Netball has made it on to the list of International Sports Federations Recognised by the International Olympic Committee. That’s an important and essential step if you want your sport to be considered for inclusion at the Olympic Games. It means the IOC is happy with things like your governance amd development of the sport. It may or not be at 2032, but I’ve gotta say Netball are on the road to play a future Olympic Games. -

It was more than just “draw a circle on a map”. They had to put a detailed submission in to the Olympic Programme Commission and then have meetings with them to put the case forward for inclusion. World Lacrosse are also on the list of IOC-recognised international sporting federations, just like Squash and Flag Football which were also added to the LA2028 Olympic Games, along with Baseball/Softball. They all put detailed submissions in. Here is the link: International Sporting Federations Recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). So why is Rugby League not on that list? Why is Rugby League not even recognised by the IOC? It’s not going to be gifted to them. Rugby League has got a lot of hard work to even be recognised because they are not even listed as an IOC-recognised international sporting federation. If you’re not on that list, you don’t get to have your sport play at the Olympic Games For info, the international governing body for rugby league is the International Rugby League. Has the International Rugby League even contacted the IOC and/or put together a submission to have the sport included at the Olympics? I don’t know if they have or not. -
I wouldn't say there's no chance at all but if World Netball had better leadership they'd be in a much better position than they currently are.

Men have only been included in the FAST5 Netball World Series since 2022 and only because they're desperate to get into the Olympics so they've belatedly started building the men's international game. Not so long ago in 2018 the World Netball outrageously declared that international netball will remain female only bucking the trend of all the other sports federations moving towards gender equality. Imagine if they hadn't spent decades sabotaging the growth of the men's game in order to keep it "female only"? They'd have been in a much better position to bid for inclusion in the Olympics at least for 2032.

BDE Ágnes Keleti Z”L who considered the greatest influence on Israeli artistic gymnastics the 2nd most decorated Olympic Jewish athlete, and I guess our Hungarian friends will have more to add on her, unfortunately passed away at the Age of 103 close to her 104th birthday.
