CFU Club Championship

As winners of the 2010–11 Hoofdklasse second round playoffs, Inter Moengotapoe and SV Transvaal earned berths into the CFU Club Championship for 2012.

CONCACAF Champions League

Should Inter Moengo or Walking Bout Company finish in third place or higher in the CFU Club Championship, they would earn a preliminary berth into the 2012–13 CONCACAF Champions League. If either team qualifies, it would be the first time since 1998 that a Surinamese club qualified for a CONCACAF competition, as well as the first time a Surinamese club ever made it into the Champions League.
