The national side played its first international as early as 17 August 1915, against British Guiana. The Surinamese Football Association took shape five years later, on 1 October 1920, and joined FIFA in 1929, well before it found a home in CONCACAF in 1961.
The side carries the nickname Natio, coined by the journalist Isje Nagessersing in the 1980s. Green, white and red on the shirt trace back to the flag.
The best of it came in the Caribbean. Suriname won the CFU Championship in 1978, then finished third twice, in 1979 and 1985, and a year before that first title had already reached sixth place at the 1977 CONCACAF Championship.
