The N.G.V.B. was founded on 10 August 1924 as the K.V.B. (Katholieke Voetbal Bond, English, Catholic Football Association), but officially changed their name to the N.G.V.B. on 1 January 1930.

Together with the S.V.B. they were the top two football associations in the country, and a strong rivalry ensued. [1]

The goals of the NGVB were as follows:

Prior to the foundation of the Catholic Football Association, there was another Catholic governing body of football in Suriname, namely the Katholieke Sport Centrale (English, Catholic Sports Center). Founded on 25 June 1919, the Catholic Sports Center hosted football matches on the football grounds behind the St. Petrus and Paulus Cathedral on the Gravenstraat. This organization ceased to exist in 1921. [1]

The NGBV was the primary representative of association football in Suriname in the beginning years of the Sport. As the first association to travel abroad, traveling to British Guyana in May 1925. The N.G.V.B selection reached its height in the 1930s when players such as Hans Nahar, John Wessels, Holband, Michel Kersout, Gerrit Schoonhoven, the De Vieira brothers and the De Chehin brothers, represented the association Internationally. The association was commonly called the 'Patro' by the people of Suriname, having brought forth such teams MYOB (Mind Your Own Business), Olympia, Boys, Xerxes, Hallo and SDO. [1]

Succession

Following the foundation of the Surinaamse Voetbal Bond (SVB, English, Surinamese Football Association) in 1920 and their joining of FIFA, the global governing body of football, the rivalry of the two associations intensified, much to the disadvantage of the NGVB, since the SVB were the only Internationally recognized football association for Suriname.

The NGVB saw a steep decline in relevancy until 1954, when they joined the SVB as a member association. The NGVB were responsible for hosting tournaments and league games among the youth teams of the various clubs and districts in the country. The name of the association was again changed that year, this time to Nieuwe Generatie Voetbal Bond (English, New Generation Football Association).

In 1961, Martin Dongen joined the N.G.V.B, taking full control of managing the youth department. The associations playing field was worn out, and a new facility needed to be built. On Sunday, 4 June 1961 the N.G.V.B. Stadion (now Mgr. Aloysius Zichem Sportcentrum) was opened, and the N.G.V.B. and its functionality within Surinamese football was restored. [1] [2]
