The national netball team capped off a strong showing at the inaugural UAE Netball Cup with a runners-up finish, following a spirited fight against world No. 18 Namibia in the finals. The Singapore Vandas lost by nine goals (62-53) to miss out on the title in Dubai.

Despite the loss, the world No. 26 Singapore Vandas impressed throughout the tournament, finishing unbeaten in the group stage and proving they can match, and even surpass, higher-ranked opponents.

The national team delivered consistent and commanding performances throughout the tournament, securing wins against several higher-ranked sides such as the UAE (world No. 23) and Kenya (world No. 25), who beat Singapore convincingly in the finals of last year’s Nations Cup.
