By Rubén Morales Iglesias: Despite persistent rains threatening pitch conditions across the country, Week 7 of the Premier League of Belize 2025–2026 Opening Championship presses forward with three crucial matches that could reshape the standings and stir local pride.
Saturday Showdown in the Capital – Belmopan FC vs Napoles FC
Saturday, 7:35 pm
Isidoro Beaton Stadium, Belmopan
The battle for Belmopan supremacy takes center stage Saturday night as Belmopan FC host Napoles FC in a clash that goes beyond points—it’s about pride and positioning among the capital’s three PLB clubs.
Belmopan (5th place, 7 pts) are seeking consistency after a mixed start, while Napoles (2nd place, 10 pts) aim to extend their formidable debut-season run and potentially leapfrog Verdes FC at the top. With Napoles boasting 11 goals and a +6 goal difference, Belmopan’s defense will be tested under the lights and under the clouds.
Sunday Survival Battle in Dangriga – Wagiya SC vs Capital Sport Club (Benque Viejo United)
Sunday, 4:00 pm
Carl Ramos Stadium, Dangriga
Sunday’s early fixture features a bottom-of-the-table clash as Wagiya SC (6th place, 4 pts) welcome the winless White Lions of Capital Sport Club (7th place, 1 pt). Both teams are desperate for a turnaround, and with soggy conditions expected, grit and discipline may outweigh finesse.
Wagiya will lean on home support and defensive resolve, while CSC’s youthful squad must deliver a complete performance to break their drought and climb off the basement.
Top-Tier Test in Belize City – Port Layola vs Verdes FC
Sunday, 4:00 pm
Marion Jones Stadium, Belize City
The weekend’s marquee matchup pits defending champions Verdes FC (1st place, 11 pts) against 2024-2025 Opening Season titleholders Port Layola (4th place, 8 pts). Both sides have championship pedigree, and with playoff implications already looming, this clash could set the tone for the second half of the season.
Verdes arrive unbeaten, with 13 goals and a +11 goal difference, while Port Layola’s disciplined backline will be key to containing the Green Machine’s fluid attack.
Weather Watch
With rain affecting field conditions nationwide, all eyes will be on stadium crews and match officials to ensure safe play. But if the skies hold, fans can expect a weekend of passion, rivalry, and pivotal performances across the Premier League of Belize.
