The Surinamese Football Association (Dutch: Surinaamse Voetbal Bond [syːriˈnaːmsəˈvudbɑlˌbɔnt]) is the governing body of football in Suriname. It organizes the Surinamese football league system, the Surinamese Cup, Suriname President's Cup, Suriname national football team, and the Suriname women's national football team. It is based in Paramaribo, and is a founding member of CONCACAF and a member of FIFA.

Just like neighboring French Guiana and Guyana, Suriname are not members of the South American CONMEBOL confederation, but instead of CONCACAF, which covers North America, Central America, and the Caribbean.

History

[edit]

Founded on 1 October 1920, the Surinamese Football Association was not the first official football association of Suriname, their main competitor as governing body of football in the country was the NGVB (Dutch Guyanese Football Association). Prior to the foundation in 1920 there was another governing body in Suriname by the same name, which was founded 1914. There was much animosity between both associations, until president Emile de la Fuente settled their differences during the opening ceremony of the National Stadium.

With the foundation of the SVB, the development of football in the country reached new heights. It was better organized in accordance to the rules of the Dutch Football Association (NVB).

Some of those rules in the founding years included:

• A match lasts 2x25 minutes with a 5-minute break.
• There was a special committee of appointed referees.
• If the match is undecided after full-time, 10 extra minutes were awarded.

To develop a professional league in Suriname and obtain popular support for the league and national selection, the SVB signed a deal with Telecommunications Company of Suriname Telesur on 30 September 2016. In this deal Telesur's daughter company ATV has received the rights to broadcast all Surinamese matches live. In this deal ATV will also establish a program that will provide viewers with soccer news to keep them up to date with the SVB and the soccer in Suriname. This deal has been considered one of the best made so far by the SVB and will last three years.
