Surinamese Footballer of the Year explained

The title Surinamese Footballer of the Year (Voetballer van het Jaar) has been awarded in Suriname since 1964. The award is determined by a poll of Surinamese sports journalists as members of the VSJS (Vereniging van Sportjournalisten in Suriname) established in 2014, replacing the SOC (Suriname Olympic Committee) who determined the winners in the years prior.^[1]
