The Fiji Pearls have qualified for the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town, South Africa after their 51-34 win over Cook Islands in the Vodafone Netball World Cup Oceania Qualifier.

Fiji Pearls coach Unaisi Rokoura says they had to empty the tank to get the much needed win.

Rokoura adds a lot of people started doubting them after their defeat to Tonga earlier this week.


Fiji led most part of the game despite getting a tough challenge from Cook Islands.

Fiji has finished second in the competition.
