From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Suriname national football team is the national team of Suriname and is controlled by the Surinaamse Voetbal Bond. Although the former Dutch colony is located in South America, it competes in CONCACAF, together with Guyana and French Guiana. Until the independence of Suriname in 1975, it competed as the Dutch Guiana national football team. Many Suriname-born players, or dutch born players of Surinamese descent who could have opted to play for Suriname, chose to play for the Netherlands; that list includes Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, Aron Winter, Romeo Castelen, Clyde Wijnhard, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink.
