"Geen Strijd Geen Kroon"

Robinhood was founded on February 6 1945 by Anton Blijd.He came with the idea to start the club, while J. Nelom proposed to name the club Robinhood. Mr. Nelom also was the first chairman of the club.In 1946 - the year the club was founded - Robinhood participated in the first barefooted football league organized by the Suriname Soccer Federation. Because Robinhood won the league title they got a dozen pair of football shoes (soccer boots) so they could participate in the league (in the second division of the SVB) were shoes were required.With humble boys (some of them were very poor) at the helm Robinhood quickly became the biggest peoples club. The club with the then biggest group of fans had the theme "geen strijd, geen kroon". [No Fight, No Crown (Glory) In 1952 Robinhood became soccer champions of Suriname. The manager was Jule Gersie. During the tenure of this very skilful trainer Robinhood won four league titles in the highest division With many star players including Humphrey Mijnals and Charly Marbach. Robinhood is the only club with so many titles after its name and one of the most popular in Suriname. In its 57th year history the club was crowned champions 22 times of which 15 titles were won with Ronald "Ro" Kolf as the manager.Robinhood always was one of the progressive clubs in Suriname. They were the first with a clubhouse (opened on May 10 1953 while the club was run by the late doctor Doelwijt).On February 6 1980 (44th year of existence) Robinhood opened the most modern clubhouse (of that time) at the verlengde Gemenelandsweg. The chairman was veterinarian Robbie Lieuw A Joe. Also in this 10 year period Robinhood won the league title 9 times out of the possible 10 dominating soccer in Suriname. During the years of existence Robinhood became internationally known, especially in the Caribbean were they won several titles (Concacaf). They also are known in Latin America and of course The Netherlands were Robinhood played games in 1976, '86 en '89 against Ajax Amsterdam losing one game 4-3. As the years went by Robinhood also grew. Apart from the hoofdklasse team they also have U-9, U11, U-13, U-15, U-17 and U-20.  Three or four years ago their youth teams merged with Makandra which previously combined with army side S.N.L.
Robinhood knows that a lot of its fans are disappointed when the clubhouse was sold - now it is home of the political party "Democratisch Nationaal Platform 2000" of ex-president Jules Wijdenbosch. "But to accept that challenge and the big step towards building their own stadium that had to be done", says the board. "With your help and support we - when the club turns 60 (2006) - must play are home games in the nicest and ultra-modern stadium." After a 10 year wait and just after the departure of Robinhood legend Ro kolf,  Robinhood finally claimed the 2004-5 Hoofdklasse title, a great season from the red and greens saw them lose just 3 games all season with Gordon Kinsaini, Orlando Grootfaam and Amaktie Maasie playing a big part in their success. The current team is a mixture of youth and experiance with many of the successful U20 team promoted to the senior team, with top coach Ricardo Winter at the helm im sure it wont be long till more honours come Robinhoods way. The new ground is also under way and hopefully in the next few years they will play in their own ultra modern ground.
