Netball is a popular participant sport in some parts of the world, particularly in countries of the Commonwealth of Nations. According to the IFNA, over 20 million people play netball in more than 70 countries.〔 IFNA member nations are divided into five regional groups: Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. ==Africa== (詳細はSouth Africa was ranked number six, Malawi was ranked number seven, Botswana was ranked eighteen, Tanzania was ranked twenty-one, Namibia was ranked twenty-fourth and Lesotho was ranked number twenty-five in the world.〔 In South Africa participation rates are high, with 40% of African girls rating netball as their favourite sport in 2002, although many African girls claiming netball as their favourite sport had never played it. South Africa was part of the 1960 meeting of Commonwealth countries in Sri Lanka that standardised the rules for the game.〔 From 1969 to 1994, South Africa was expelled from competing internationally in netball due to its apartheid policies. During the 1995 Netball World Championships South Africa scored an upset win over New Zealand in pool play and finished second behind Australia.〔 In 2000, New Zealand's national side toured South Africa for the first time, playing three test matches. In 2001, a Tri-Nations Series was launched between Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, which was also won by New Zealand.〔 Netball is the most popular women's sport in Botswana, Malawi〔 and Tanzania. In Botswana netball is primarily played by women, with men traditionally serving as officials, coaches and administrators for the sport. There are also a few men-only teams, although many were discontinued in the 2000s in favour of mixed-gender teams.〔 The Botswana Netball Association as founded in the 1970s and is the national organisation responsible for netball in Botswana.〔 Netball was introduced to Tanzania after World War I, when the country was under British colonial rule. All primary schools in the country have a court and children are generally recruited to high level teams at a young age. The Netball Association of Tanzania (CHANETA) was created in 1966 and has been mostly run by women, although men can play a role in coaching.〔 During the 1970s and 1980s, the International Olympic Committee and the British Council promoted netball in Tanzania, but were unwilling to investment money.〔 Economic liberalisation saw the popularity of netball decline during the 1990s, and recent attempts to raise netball's popularity have been slow as sport is culturally more acceptable for men.〔 The Tanzanian national netball team finished in third place at the 2010 Nations Cup.〔
