ABCS Tournament 2014

It was initially announced that the 2014 edition of the tournament would be hosted by Suriname from November 7–9. All matches were to be played at André Kamperveen Stadion. Following a strong performance by Curacao during 2014 Caribbean Cup qualification, the tournament was moved to 28–30 November since Curacao would be participating in the finals of the 2014 Caribbean Cup.[2][3] It was later announced that the tournament had been postponed until 2015 because Curacao had just finished a long Caribbean Cup process.[4]

The 2015 edition of the tournament was hosted in Suriname between 30 January and 1 February.[4]

The 2018 edition of the tournament was scheduled to be played 11–13 May 2018 at the Trinidad Stadium in Oranjestad, Aruba[5] but was cancelled after Curaçao withdrew and qualification for the 2019–20 CONCACAF Nations League was announced.[6]

2021 ABCS Tournament

The ABCS tournament between Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and Suriname will take place between February 12 and 14. Curaçao, whose football association will be 100 years old in 2021, will host.

The tournament falls outside the FIFA-period for international matches, which means that the four countries can only use their locals.[7]
