By Horace Palacio: From covering local Premier League of Belize (PLB) matches to photographing Lionel Messi on the international stage—Erick Martínez’s journey is proof that hard work, talent, and passion can open incredible doors.
Martínez, who also works with The National Channel, was recently on assignment at Chase Field during the match between Inter Miami and Toronto FC, which ended in a 1–1 draw. While the game had its moments, the highlight for many Belizeans was seeing one of our own proudly representing the country from behind the camera.
This moment wasn’t just a career milestone for Erick—it was also a proud day for Belize. For those who work behind the scenes in sports media, such opportunities are rare and deeply meaningful.
The Belizean flag made it to the edge of the pitch, thanks to Erick. His success is a reminder that Belizean talent belongs on every stage—local, regional, and global.
We at Breaking Belize News join the entire sporting community in celebrating this proud achievement. Congratulations, Erick! Keep inspiring Belize and beyond.
