There was much animosity between both associations, until president Emile de la Fuente settled their differences during the opening ceremony of the National Stadium.

Some of those rules in the founding years included: To develop a professional league in Suriname and obtain popular support for the league and national selection, the SVB signed a deal with Telecommunications Company of Suriname Telesur on 30 September 2016.

In this deal Telesur's daughter company ATV has received the rights to broadcast all Surinamese matches live.

As of 2017[update] The SVB have several member associations (Dutch, Lidbonden) who are involved in the organization and facilitation of the sport throughout the different municipalities and districts of the country.

Hosting their own independent amateur leagues, the winners of each member association participate in the Lidbondentoernooi which leads to promotion to the SVB Eerste Klasse.
