Belize and Panama will battle for three points in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Saturday (June 7th). The game will be played at FFB Stadium.
The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat they suffered away to Montserrat on Wednesday. Mark Rogers broke the deadlock in the second minute and his nation held on to claim all three points.
Panama, meanwhile, have not been in action since falling to a 2-1 defeat to Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League final in March. They went behind to Raul Jimenez' eighth-minute strike but Adelberto Alcazar equalized from the spot in first half injury time. Jimenez completed his brace from the spot, scoring a dramatic match-winner deep into injury time.
Los Canaleros will now turn their attention to the qualifiers where their last game saw them claim a 3-1 away win over Montserrat.
The victory left them in second spot in Group D, having garnered six points from two games. Belize are bottom of the standings on zero points.
