Caribbean Tours S.V.B. (Surinam FA) 1934 and 1938


1934 | 1938
Apparently in order to 'prove a point' against the rival federation N.G.V.B., which exchanged regular visits with the British Guyana F.A. in Georgetown, the S.V.B., the FIFA-recognised football federation in Surinam, undertook a first tour with its representative team in the Caribbean in 1934, and another in 1938.

In between those two tours, S.V.B. selections also paid visits to Cayenne (1935/36) and Belém (1936).
