Inter Moengotapoe (sometimes rendered Inter Moengo Tapoe or just IMT) is a Surinamese football club, based in Moengo, Marowijne between Paramaribo and the border town of Albina. They play their home matches at the Ronnie Brunswijkstadion.

Since the launch of professional football on February 22, 2024,[1] Inter Moengotapoe is competing in the professional Suriname Major League.[2]

IMT was champion of Suriname 10 times, winning every year between 2006-07 and 2018–19 except for 2007–08, 2011–12 and 2017-18.

IMT has participated in the CFU Club Championship nine times, most recently in 2017 when they were eliminated in the first round, finishing runners-up in their group. The club kit manufacturer is Jako.

The club made international headlines in September 2021, when Surinamese Vice President, and club owner, then 60-year old, Ronnie Brunswijk, inserted himself into a 2021 CONCACAF League match against Honduran outfit, Olimpia, playing 54 minutes.[3][4] Olimpia won the match 6–0.[5] Following the match, video leaked online that showed Brunswijk paying Olimpia players after the match, suspecting pundits that Brunswijk engaged in match fixing. On 22 September 2021, CONCACAF launched a formal investigation,[6] and on 25 September 2021 both Inter Moengotapoe and Olimpia were disqualified from the tournament, with Brunswijk being banned from playing in CONCACAF competitions for three years.[7]
