By Rubén Morales Iglesias: The Football Federation of Belize (FFB) has officially launched the 2025 Boys’ U15 and Men’s U17 Elite Championships, a cornerstone event in its High-Performance Program aimed at developing the next generation of football talent.
Belize won 5-1 over Orange Walk in the U15 kickoff on Friday, June 27. However, in the U17, Orange Walk salvaged a point playing to a 2-2 draw with Belize.
Scheduled to run from Friday, June 27 to Saturday, July 19, the two-tiered tournament brings together top youth talent from across Belize’s nine football regions. Each team has been molded under professional coaching standards, with a focus on refining technical skills, tactical awareness, physical preparation, and mental resilience.
