Four of the seven competing nations at the forthcoming Central American Cup will be in international friendly action next week, but there will be no game for Belize. Competition hosts Panama play at home to Honduras (with a return match in La Ceiba next month), whilst Costa Rica and Guatemala face Caribbean opposition in the form of Jamaica and Guyana respectively. Unfortunately, Jose de la Paz Herrera's Jaguars do not now have another fixture before his first major tournament as coach, although the same can also be said of group rivals El Salvador and Nicaragua. Whether just two internationals in the past twelve months is enough preparation for the Belizean team, remains to be seen.
In the latest round of matches in the Caribbean Motors Cup, defending champions and league leaders Belize Defence Force were held at home to a 0-0 draw by third-placed Griga United. This allowed FC Belize to narrow the gap at the top to three points following their comfortable 4-1 victory over bottom-of-the-table San Pedro Sea Dogs.
FCB's Christian Okonkwo and Deris Benavides of San Felipe Barcelona are now the league's joint top goalscorers on five apiece. This weekend sees the league's top two play host to the bottom two, with BDF and FC Belize up against San Pedro and Hankook Verdes respectively.
