BELMOPAN, Mon. Aug. 1, 2016–The Football Federation of Belize (FFB) announces that, due to the approaching weather system, it has postponed the Atlantic Bank Atlantic Insurance Road to U-17 World Cup and the FIFA Live Your Goals Campaign that were both scheduled for this weekend, August 5-7.

In an effort to continue with the enhancement of football in the country, both events have been rescheduled for the weekend of August 19-21.
