The Eswatini National Netball Association (ENNA) is the governing body for netball in the Kingdom of Eswatini. Headquartered in Mbabane, we oversee both women's and men's netball programs, managing national teams across multiple age categories. ENNA is a full member of the international netball community, affiliated with Africa Netball.

Our mission is to develop netball at all levels—from grassroots participation to elite international competition—building stronger, faster, and smarter teams capable of representing Eswatini with pride and confidence on the African and global stage.
