SportsFootball Federation of Belize news update

— The National Female U-17 Selection will play their World Cup qualifier return match against Guatemala on Sunday, June 2, at the FFB Stadium, starting at 4:00 p.m. Entrance fee is only $5.00, and everyone is invited to come out and support our youths.

— Our National ‘A’ Team will be playing in Melchor today at 3:00 p.m. against Guatemalan 1st division Club Heredia.

— Our National ‘A’ Team will also be playing a friendly against Guatemala’s National ‘A’ Team on Tuesday, June 11, in Antigua, Guatemala.

— The Federation will be conducting open tryouts for U-15 males, born in the year 1998 onwards, on Saturday, June 8, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the FFB Stadium. Belize will be participating in CONCACAF U-15 Boys Championship Tournament which will be staged in the Cayman Islands from August 10 – 25. This is for the countries in the CONCACAF region.

— The President, Mr. Ruperto Vicente; General Secretary, Mr. Michael Blease; and Executive Member, Mr. Cruz Gamez went to the 63rd FIFA Congress, which will be held on May 30 and 31 in Maritius.

(Ed. Note: See “Guatemala U-17 women top Belize” elsewhere in this issue. Our girls will try to redeem themselves this Sunday.

In the friendly in Melchor, our National ‘A’ Team defeated Guatemalan 1st Division club Heredia, 2-nil, on goals by Trevor “Burger” Lennen and David Trapp. The real test will be against the Guatemalan ‘A’ Team on June 11.

Our National U-15 male team, like our National Female U-17, will not have a long time to prepare for the CONCACAF competition in August. Fortunately, the Belmopan Football League has a good U-15 tournament going, including the Gold Medal winning YWAM Roaring Creek squad, which might form the nucleus of our National U-15 male team.)
