The GIANTS Netball brand is no more.
But the franchise is expected to stay in western Sydney under new owners, the Sports Entertainment Group (SEG).
Current Head Coach Nerida Stewart and Assistant Coach Jen Wright will remain in their respective roles through the 2027 season.
Netball NSW confirmed today it was privately selling its second Super Netball Licence, ending a partnership that commenced in 2016.
“We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved alongside Netball NSW over the past decade and the role we’ve played in building the GIANTS Netball brand and supporting the growth of elite women’s sport,” said GIANTS CEO David Matthews.
“We support Netball NSW’s process and decision and believe it’s a positive step in ensuring the team has the resources and structure it needs for continued growth and long-term success.
“We thank Netball NSW for its partnership over the past decade and look forward to seeing the team continue to thrive in this next chapter for the benefit of the game and women’s sport.”
The GIANTS and Netball NSW will officially end their partnership on September 30.
SEG is an Australian sports media, content and entertainment business with extensive experience across professional sport, including ownership of the Melbourne Mavericks in Suncorp Super Netball and several professional basketball franchises.
A new team name, logo and colours will be unveiled in the coming months.
There is no suggestion the franchise will move from western Sydney and is expected to continue playing games at Sydney Olympic Park.
