History
The Federation of European Netball Associations was established in 1989 after the International Federation of Netball Associations decided it wanted to create five regional federations representing Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania. The first meeting of FENA was held at the Britannia Ringway Hotel, Manchester.[1][2]
Board
Europe Netball is administrated by a board that includes two former England netball internationals, Lyn Carpenter and Maggie Jackson.[3][4]
