George Municipality has the honour of being the only city in the Garden Route District that has been allocated a Netball World Cup Fan Park to be hosted at Rosemore Stadium and this is also where DCS George has pulled out all the stops and assisted tremendously. Teams of offenders have been busy since early this week repairing, painting and cleaning Rosemore Stadium and its surrounds, to ensure that the Fan Park which will host up to 2000 netball supporters per day is in tip top condition. The Fan park is hosted in partnership with the Department of Cultural Affairs and Sport (DCAS) from 28th July to 6th August 2023.
The official Opening Ceremony on the 28 July and the Closing Ceremony on the 6 August will take place at the Rosemore Stadium. Over 25 Schools have been invited to participate in a Primary and High School Netball Tournament during the week, with local Social Clubs being given an opportunity to participate over the two weekends.
