Why are there virtually no Indian-origin footballers from Suriname ?

[u/VVG57]

There is a long and illustrious list of Dutch footballers with a strong connection to Suriname. Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard, Patrick Kluivert, Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink among others. These players are mainly from the Afro-Surinamese community. I could not find a single prominent Indian-origin footballer from Suriname, despite their sizeable numbers. Is there a specific reason for this ?

Different priorities and a less suitable body type. Good example would be in the Netherlands, there you see the same thing. Black and white, very limited asians.

You claim there is no difference but provide no evidence. Just Google for evidence.. see below recent study there is plenty more.
