Match postponed following FIFA suspension
Montserrat's 2014 World Cup campaign is in limbo following the postponement of their preliminary qualifying second-leg match in Belmopan, Belize. The Belizeans – who won the first leg 5-2 – have had their FIFA membership suspended following ‘governmental influence.’ The game was cancelled after the Belize government said that it would not provide its Football Federation (the FFB) with security for the visiting team or match officials. A new date for the fixture has not been set, but FIFA has said that it must take place no later than July 10, 2011 on the proviso that the situation between the FFB/Belizean government has been resolved and the suspension lifted.
