Belize’s men’s national volleyball team began their 12th Central American Games campaign with a formidable performance at Gimnasio Teodoro Palacios Flores in Guatemala City, sweeping Honduras 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-19) in their Group B opener. The victory, secured on Friday, October 17, 2025, sets a strong foundation for the team as they advance through the group stage.
The Belize attack proved too potent for their regional rivals, with Francis Hauze leading the scoring charts after registering a match-high 18 points. The side was ably supported by Kaelen Ingram, who contributed a vital 13 points in the straight-sets win. For Honduras, David Villatoro and Orbekko Brown were joint top scorers, both claiming 10 points, but their efforts were not enough to halt the Belizean momentum.

After a tightly contested first set that finished 25-23, Belize found their rhythm to take the next two sets 25-20 and 25-19, closing out the match in convincing style.
The victory mirrors the success of the Belize Women’s team, which also started their championship run with a win over Honduras, defeating them 3-1 earlier in the week.
