The Suriname national badminton team (Dutch: Surinaams nationaal badmintonteam) represents Suriname in international badminton team competitions.[1] The national team is organised by Surinaamse Badminton Bond, the governing body for badminton in Suriname.
The first Surinamese national squad was formed in 1970 when a badminton team from Trinidad & Tobago visited Suriname. The Surinamese players of the first national squad in 1970 included players Romeo Caster, Theo Bueno de Mesquita, Artie Heuvel, Frits Terborg, Reginald Ching Jong, Otmar Kersout, Walther Illes and the ladies Lilian Bendter, Maria Ho, Johanna Asin and Cornelly da Silva. The first coach-trainer of the Surinamese badminton squad was Lud Nijman.[2]
The team debuted in the Sudirman Cup in 2003. Suriname also competes in the CACSO Games and the South American Games. The mixed team won bronze in the 2010 South American Games mixed team event in Medellín.
