Belize tie back on

The Football Federation of Belize (FFB) has had its suspension provisionally lifted until August 15th by FIFA’s emergency committee. This action means that the second leg of Montserrat’s 2014 World Cup preliminary qualifying tie with the Central American nation can now take place. The game must now be played before July 17th outside of Belize, in order to avoid the problems with Belizean authorities not being able to provide security assurances which caused the original tie, on June 19th, to be postponed. If the problems between the FFB and its country’s authorities cannot be solved by August 15th, the Federation’s suspension will be reinstated. The first match, played in Trinidad, was won 5-2 by Belize.
