Voorwaarts (Aruba) tour of Surinam 1947

Voorwaarts were a selection of Surinamese players working on Aruba, who entered the Lago Sport Park competition in 1948 but were not part of the official A.V.B. league. They presumably were named after the Paramaribo club of the same name. Their two matches against the official S.V.B. selection were for a cup offered by beer brewers Heineken, who offered several cups for football matches in Paramaribo over the years, but always as one-off events and not as part of a series.

Matches part of the celebrations of the birthday of Koningin Wilhelmina.
