Its report of 25 September 2026 is the source retrieved for the eleven-club composition of the Suriname Major League for the season then about to start, including the list of clubs the league published.^[3] Reporters Without Borders' 2026 entry for Suriname states: “The Constitution guarantees freedom of the press.
