English Version
Niels Francisco Liberia was born on June 4, 1938, as the first child of the couple Vicento Libria and Petra Sillé.
Niels began practicing basketball as a junior while attending St. Thomas College, a member of SITHOC (SINT THOMAS COLLEGE), in the early 1950s.
Throughout Niels’ efforts, his commitment to the existence of basketball as a sport was evident. The experience he gained from what basketball meant to him made him wish for every young person, especially those less privileged, to have the opportunity to play basketball. All that was needed was a ball, a hoop in a courtyard, or attaching a basket to any pole in the neighborhood or on any field available.
Playing in the senior team of SITHOC, Niels participated in various selections representing both Curaçao and the Netherlands Antilles in Aruba, Venezuela (Valencia), Suriname, and Colombia.
After the Sithoc board appointed Niels as the coach of the Sithoc junior team, in the 69/70 seasons, Niels took charge of the Sithoc Ladies’ and Olympic Ladies’ teams. At St. Thomas College on Hoogstraat, Niels trained the Sithoc Ladies every Sunday from 10 am to 12 pm and the Olympic Ladies from 4 pm to 6 pm in the afternoon.
Niels was the first person to arrive at the court, and he was very strict when the players arrived late. Consequently, training always started precisely on time.
Under Niels’ leadership, Sithoc Ladies became champions in the female category for five consecutive years, with Olympic following as sub-champion most times.
In the 70s and 80s, Niels served as the coach and head coach of the Curaçao and Netherlands Antilles selections in Kingdom games in Suriname and the Netherlands, Central American and Caribbean games in El Salvador, Colombia, and Panama (although he trained the team that went to El Salvador, he could not accompany them due to an unexpected family bereavement).
In 1984, the Curaçao Ladies’ selection became champions in Aruba under Niels’ principal coaching, assisted by Cedric Mambre.
On various occasions when American Marine ships visited, the Basketball Federation would form a selection to play against the crew, and Niels would be appointed as the coach.
Niels believed that sports in neighborhood schools were essential for the overall development of young people, helping to keep them active and away from the temptations of wrongdoing. Niels himself maintained an inventory list of all fields in every neighborhood. In his free time, he would run around, observing young people playing basketball, standing by to watch them, and later calling them over to discuss their actions and attitudes.
After the decline of basketball as a popular sport, some sports leaders established the Youth Basketball Organization (ORBAHU). CSF appointed Niels as a member of the commission, which later had to formalize basketball support from its foundation to the Federation. During the transitional period in 1996, Niels became part of CUBAFE.
Niels attended various capacity-building courses:
From the Pan American Sports Organization; Solidarity America “Certificate of Participation” in September 1976.
From the International Olympic Committee in Mexico City, “Training Certificate” in November 1976.
Niels received the following recognitions:
April 1971: Silver Skalchi of Olympic Ladies.
October 1991: Merit Plate from the Otrabanda Basketball Commission.
December 1991: Merit Plate from CUBAFE.
Merit Plate from FEBEKO for his cooperation with Curaçao Baseball.
November 2003: The foundation that managed sports facilities named the Multipurpose Sports Hall in Suffisant the NIELS LIBERIA MULTIPURPOSE SPORTS HALL.
