By Zoila Palma: Napoles FC will honor the memory of former player Jaheed Lopez during its First Division match against San Pedro Pirates tonight at the FFB Stadium in Belmopan.
Lopez, a proud son of Punta Gorda, wore the number 22 jersey during his time with Napoles FC. The club said the match will be about more than football as players, fans, and members of the football community come together to remember the young athlete, whose life was tragically cut short this week.
Before kickoff, a moment of silence will be observed in Lopez’s memory.
Then, during the 22nd minute, the club is asking everyone inside the stadium to rise for a full minute of applause in celebration of his life, his time with the club, and the memories he leaves behind.
All First Division teams have been invited to attend free of charge as the football community stands in solidarity with Lopez’s family and loved ones.
The match kicks off at 7:30 p.m., with general admission set at BZ$10.
Napoles FC said, “Football brings us together in competition, but moments like these remind us that we are one football family.” Rest in peace, Jaheed. Once Napoles, always Napoles.
