The Fight In The FFB is Fierce
posted (June 8, 2017)
The jostling continues in the Football Federation of Belize, where tonight, Sergio Chuc and Cruz Gamez remain banned from running for President.

That's the decision taken yesterday by the FFB Electoral Appeals Committee.

Now, both men had gotten an attorney to write to the FFB pleading their case, and both had also been cleared by the FFB's Disciplinary Committee.

But, the Electoral Committee dismissed that letter from the disciplinary committee noting that it was not even on official letterhead, and that it showed many inconsistencies.

In the end, the Appeals Committee ruled that both men are still ineligible to contest the elections on June 24th.

OF course, that's far form the end of it. There are many ongoing intrigues going on behind closed doors, as district committees are now scrambling to see whose side - if any - they will take in an internal war that is getting uglier by the day. Reports say there are groups meeting to see if they can call off the election altogether.

We'll keep following the disputes in Belize's largest sports league.
