Popular sports (football, cricket, basketball) - Suriname
Shortly
In Suriname, they love the ball and the team drive. Football is the No. 1 sport with the widest mass base; cricket holds a strong position thanks to the country's cultural mosaic and yard laigs; basketball is actively growing in cities, especially among young people. The sports scene connects schools, district clubs, city venues and national tournaments, and also sets the reasons for city holidays and broadcasts in bars.
Football: The "language of the streets" and the national symbol
How the ecosystem works
Children and youth schools and district academies - from the first steps to selection to clubs.
Club football: national leagues, cup tournaments, regional matches; in the capital - the largest concentration of teams and infrastructure.

Where to play tourist/beginner
Open city fields (in the evenings and weekends), corporate mini-leagues, commercial football centers with "5 × 5/6 × 6."

Why cricket is holding firm
The country is multinational, and cricket is traditionally strong in the diasporas of South Asia and the Javanese community - hence the "family" format of the weekend on the oval.
In parks and suburbs, you can often see matches with a tap ball (a ball wrapped in duct tape): cheap, safe, dynamic.

Club teams often combine adults and juniors, betting on family leisure around the game.

During major international series, interest in broadcasts in bars and sports zones is growing.
