Netball Tournament for Muslims in Auckland

Islamic Women’s Council

Press Release

Wellington, June 1, 2017

The Auckland region of the Islamic Women’s Council of New Zealand is running a netball tournament today, as in the past.

The tournament is a private event, by invitation only, at Zayed College.

It has previously been held at other premises.

This event is organised to enable young and old Muslim women to participate in a sporting competition in an environment in which they feel comfortable.

There are many benefits in being involved in sporting activities of this kind, beyond just the physical exercise. It improves confidence, builds relationships and skills in team work.

Because many of the women participating would normally wear hijab, and this is an opportunity for them to participate in sportswear and without their hijab, men are not allowed at the tournament venue.

Our apologies

We sympathise with the father who would like to watch his daughters participate, but we also know that his attendance would mean that many other women would not be participating as a result.

He has an opportunity to enter his daughters in public tournaments run by others.

We continue to be committed to providing sporting and outdoor recreational activities for women in a safe environment.
