Uganda, Scotland, Wales, Trinidad and Tobago, Northern Ireland, and Barbados have been invited to compete by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), all of which have accepted the invitation.

These final six teams will join Australia, New Zealand, England, Jamaica, South Africa and Malawi in Birmingham this summer.

The teams qualified for the competition based on their world Netball ranking as of January 2022.

This extended qualification date was decided upon by World Netball and the  CGF in March 2021 due to the impact of COVID-19 on the international calendar. 

This allowed additional time for international fixtures to be played before the  2022 domestic season begun. 

During this qualification period, Uganda, nicknamed the "She Cranes", moved up to sixth place, above already qualified Malawi. 

Scotland, Wales, Trinidad and Tobago and  Northern Ireland then qualified due to being ranked eighth to 11th, while Barbados qualified despite being in 13th place because the team ahead of them, Zimbabwe is not currently a member of the Commonwealth.

"Congratulations to the final six  Commonwealth Games Associations on securing their place at the Birmingham 2022," World Netball President, Liz Nicholl said. 

"The Commonwealth Games is always a highlight in the  netball calendar for the players, officials and netball family, and with this exciting line up I am sure Birmingham will live up to that expectation."

The defending champions England, who beat Australia to clinch the gold medal at Gold Coast 2018, are due to start the tournament when they play Trinidad and Tobago on July 29 at the National Exhibition Centre.

At the same time, Australia are scheduled to play Barbados.

"We are set for a  spectacular competition at the National Exhibition Centre," CGF President Dame Louise Martin said. 

"I know that World Netball  and the inspirational athletes across 12 teams hope they will be the stars of the show  again in Birmingham, as they were at Gold Coast 2018."

Tickets for the netball are expected to be among the most sought after at Birmingham 2022.

"It's fantastic that we now  know the final line up of netball teams for Birmingham 2022," Matt Kidson, director of sport for Birmingham 2022, said.

"Netball tickets for the  Games have already been selling very well, with tickets for ten sessions, including the  medal matches, semi-finals and all of the England matches currently unavailable. 

"Now that we can complete the match schedule, I'm sure the remaining tickets will prove to  be very popular."

Prices for group matches start at just £8 for under-16s and £15 for adults. 

There are also tickets available for schools and groups for five of the netball sessions.
