Current: 2024 SVB Lidbondentoernooi |
The SVB Lidbondentoernooi (English: Member Associations Tournament) is an annual football tournament organized by the Surinamese Football Association (SVB) since 2006. It is also known as the SURIBET Lidbondentoernooi due to sponsorship. [1] The tournament is contested by the winners and runners-up of the districts leagues from the 20 regional member associations of the SVB. The winner and runner-up of the tournament can then qualify for the Eerste Divisie, the 2nd tier of football in Suriname. [2]
Until 2006 there were two tournaments, the "Randdistrictentoernooi" (1973-2005) for the ten member associations in and around the capital city Paramaribo, where the champion and runner-up each member association participated, and the "Inter-districtentoernooi" (1979-2005) which served as the inter district tournament for the other member associations of the SVB. [3] In 2006 the two tournaments were fused together to create a more equal playing field. The winners and runners-up of the new tournament are then considered for promotion to the Eerste Klasse and on a few occasions have even been promoted directly to the Hoofdklasse, the top flight of football in Suriname.
