Still waiting for a first World Cup or continental title

Suriname's story so far

Suriname are one of 160 national teams who have never won a FIFA World Cup or their confederation's continental championship — the same two-tier standard tracked for every team on this site. Suriname made their Gold Cup debut in 2021 and earned their first Gold Cup finals match victory by beating Guadeloupe 2-1. Their 2026 World Cup qualifying run ended with a 2-1 defeat by Bolivia in the intercontinental play-off semi-final on 26 March 2026. That was not the play-off final: a further match would still have been required to reach the World Cup.
