This agreement will come into effect in time for the upcoming 2025 Netball World Youth Cup, which will take place between September 19 and 28 in Gibralter.
Fiona Harold, chief executive at World Netball, has said: "We are thrilled to have entered a two-year partnership with KitQueen, meaning our officials will now wear Nike kit.
"Having Nike bespoke kit, thanks to KitQueen, will not only provide our officials with the elite clothing needed to elevate their movement and performance, but it will also ensure they are comfortable and confident whilst doing so.”
In late January, a similar relationship between Nike, KitQueen, and the England Netball body was put in place.

The eight-year event cycle includes the Netball World Cup (NWC), a new WN event, and the inaugural Men’s NWC.
The NWC, taking place every two years following the next edition in 2027, is netball’s pinnacle event.
