By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Marlon Kuylen was elected President of the Premier League of Belize during the league’s Ordinary Elective Congress held on Saturday, February 28, 2026, ushering in a new four‑year leadership cycle for Belize’s top football league.
Kuylen, who also serves as an Executive Member of Belize’s highest football authority, the Football Federation of Belize (FFB), replaces outgoing president Ian Haylock.
Wilhelm Miguel continues as General Secretary, ensuring administrative continuity.
Contested and uncontested positions
Only two positions were contested during the Congress.
- For President, Kuylen defeated outgoing Vice President Godfrey Arzu.
- For Vice President, Michael Blease defeated outgoing President Ian Haylock.
The remaining three positions—two Executive Members and the Woman Executive Member—were uncontested.

- Marco Antonio Novelo – Executive Member (Progresso FC)
- Rachel Moss – Woman Executive Member (Wagiya SC)

Skwara, the President of Belmopan FC, is an American citizen and becomes the first foreigner to serve as an Executive Member of the Premier League of Belize, marking a notable milestone in the league’s administrative history.

- Ian Haylock – President (Verdes FC)
