Belize suspended

FIFA announced the suspension of the Football Federation of Belize today, meaning that Belize's home qualifying match against Montserrat this Saturday is postponed until Belize is reinstated. Belize is currently ahead 5-2 in the home-and-away series.

FIFA suspended the FFB because of severe government interference and a promise that there would be no services provided to protect the safety of visiting players and officials. If Belize is not reinstated to FIFA by and cannot play its match against Montserrat before 11 July 2011, Belize will be disqualified from the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
