Suriname’s top club side SV Robinhood has stamped its authority on the 2026 CFU Club Shield, securing a dominant 4-0 quarterfinal victory over Guyana’s Slingerz FC on Tuesday evening to book a spot in the tournament’s final four. The win keeps the Surinamese semi-champions firmly in contention for a place in the final, and ultimately a qualifying spot to the prestigious 2026 Concacaf Caribbean Cup.
From the opening kickoff, Robinhood controlled the tempo of the match, holding the upper hand and dictating play for nearly the full 90 minutes. The club’s consistent territorial dominance paid off in the 36th minute, when forward Renske Adipi broke the deadlock to put his side ahead. The two sides headed into the halftime break with Robinhood holding a narrow 1-0 advantage.
Robinhood did not let up after the restart, maintaining its grip on the match and continuing to push for more goals. Midfielder Ravello Zijler doubled the Surinamese side’s lead just minutes into the second half, before Dimitrio Andro extended the gap further with Robinhood’s third goal of the night. Zijler capped off an outstanding individual performance with his second goal of the evening, setting the final score at a convincing 4-0.
Match statistics only reinforce the extent of Robinhood’s dominance over their Guyanese opponents. The Surinamese club held 61% of the match’s total possession, put four of their shots on target, and limited Slingerz FC to zero attempts on goal. Robinhood also held an advantage in corner opportunities, earning three corner kicks compared to just one for Slingerz.
With this lopsided win, SV Robinhood joins the remaining four teams still in contention for the 2026 CFU Club Shield title. The tournament’s semifinals are scheduled to kick off on Friday, July 31. The two teams that advance to the final will automatically earn qualification to the 2026 Concacaf Caribbean Cup, the top-tier club football competition for the Caribbean region.
The remaining quarterfinal matches delivered equally dramatic results across the competition. Jamaica’s Mount Pleasant FA earned a narrow 1-0 win over Barbados’ Weymouth Wales, while Puerto Rico’s Metropolitan FC secured a 2-1 victory against the United States Virgin Islands’ Helenites SC. The fixture between Curaçao’s Inter Willemstad and the Dominican Republic’s Delfines del Este ended 1-1 after regulation time, with a penalty shootout required to determine the semifinal qualifier.
For SV Robinhood, the team is now just one win away from a spot in the CFU Club Shield final and a coveted ticket to the Concacaf Caribbean Cup. Tuesday’s resounding victory over Slingerz FC has cemented the Surinamese club’s status as one of the favorites to lift the 2026 tournament trophy.
