TheSVB Lidbondentoernooi (English:Member Associations Tournament) is an annual football tournament organized by theSurinamese 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 theEerste Divisie, the 2nd tier of football inSuriname.^[2]

Until 2006 there were two tournaments, the "Randdistrictentoernooi" (1973-2005) for the ten member associations in and around the capital cityParamaribo, 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 theEerste Klasse and on a few occasions have even been promoted directly to theHoofdklasse, the top flight of football in Suriname.^[4]
