Belize Football II

Reply from Belize FA :

"The games are schedule to play on the 15th June in Trinidad & Tobago
and on the 19th June in Belmopan City."

 

Thanks very much for that. Could you please tell me your contact e-mai at the Montserrat FA as I don't seem to be able to get in touch with them.

Thanks

 

I dont think Montserrat FA reply emails, just Belize FA.

 

Belize won their first leg of the world cup qualfying rounds with 5-2 victory over Montserrat, which was played at Ato Boldon Stadium in trindad
the goalscorers for belize were Deon Mccauley (24,74,82),Harrison Roches (50 min), and Elroy Kuylen (53rd min)

I've seen McCaulay play a couple of times and he wouldn't look out of place plying his trade in England, maybe not the Premier League, but definitely Championship/League 1 level. However it's getting noticed, scoring regularly on the international stage though could get him that exposure.

So... I don't understand... what's the problem between the Belize FA and their government? They just forgot to register or something?

 

The government doesn't like the way the Belize FA runs football in the country and in particular the president of the FA. Its a shame as the players miss out, as they don't get paid, and football is only played as a hobby/interest in Belize, and they don't get paid when they play for their club teams, just internationally.

 

See, this is what I hate about FIFA the most. This blatant abuse of power. From what I understand, the president of the FFB is considered a dictator by most in his country. And yet, because he works for FIFA, he is absolutely untouchable. I'm all for keeping politics out of sport, but FIFA need to keep their houses clean. And from everything that has happened in Belize over the past few months, this house is in need of new management.

But of course, the government will cave in to FIFA's threats. Everyone always does. And nothing in the FFB will change. They will need a new domestic league, though, since the BPFL wants no part of being in the FFB any longer.

 

Two days to change.

 

Well, the second leg will be played, but not in Belize.

Police vs. Bandits derby

 

Anything new in Belize?

 

Preparations before UNCAF Cup ?

 

Although Belize first game didn't go as planned 6-1, the team shouldn't be demoralized escepially USA passing game was outstanding. Hopefully they will learn from their mistake and have a better showing against Costa Rica and Cuba.
Also considering their league is semi-pro, they lack international experience and competition fr clubs in Belize and only three players play abroad.
Hopefully a few players get noticed by foreign clubs, experience helps the coaching staff and more money and time is invested in a proper stadium and clubs.

 

Sadly Belompan Bandits will not be competing in Concacaf Champions League (sigh one step forward two steps back)

 

Any friendlies for Belize NT before UNCAF Cup in September ?

 

Nope none are planned sadly with this federation i doubt we will be seeing any international friendlies for a while
