By Rubén Morales Iglesias: As the 2025–2026 Premier League of Belize opening season reaches its midpoint, the standings reflect a fiercely competitive campaign with little separating the top contenders. After six weeks of action, Verdes FC sit atop the table, but the margin is razor-thin, and the race for playoff positions is heating up.
Verdes FC: Unbeaten and Leading on Goal Difference
Verdes FC remain the only unbeaten team in the league, with two wins and two draws from four matches. Their 9 goals scored and a commanding +8 goal differential give them the edge over Progresso, despite both teams being level on 8 points. Verdes’ consistency and defensive strength have made them early favourites, but the competition is closing in fast.
Progresso: Strong Start, But Slipping
Progresso have played one more match than Verdes and share the same point total, but their goal differential of +6 places them second. With two wins, two draws, and one loss, they’ve shown attacking flair—scoring a league-high 11 goals—but will need to tighten up defensively to keep pace with the leaders.
Belmopan & Napoles: Neck-and-Neck in Third and Fourth
Belmopan and Napoles FC are locked in a battle for third place, each with 7 points from four matches. Belmopan’s +5 goal differential gives them the edge, while Napoles, despite having a negative goal differential (-1), have managed to stay in contention thanks to timely wins and solid midfield play. Both clubs are just one point off the top and remain serious title threats.
Port Layola: Mid-Table with Momentum
Port Layola sit fifth with 5 points, having earned one win and two draws. Their +2 goal differential suggests a balanced squad, but they’ll need more consistency to challenge the top four. With only four matches played, they have room to climb.
Wagiya & Capital Sport Club (Benque Viejo United): Struggling at the Bottom
Wagiya, with 4 points from five matches, have shown flashes of potential but remain vulnerable with a -6 goal differential. Meanwhile, Capital Sport Club (Benque Viejo United) are in dire straits, having earned just one point and conceded a league-worst 17 goals, leaving them with a staggering -14 goal differential.
As the second half of the season looms, fans can expect more twists in this tightly contested campaign.
