June 2011 suspension by FIFA
On 15 June 2011, Belize kicked off the Road to Brazil (2014 FIFA World Cup qualification) against minnows Montserrat, winning 2–5 away in a match played in the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva, Trinidad. However, the return which was scheduled for 19 June was postponed by FIFA when they suspended the FFB due to governmental interference. The FFB filed suit against Belize's Minister for Sports John Saldivar over the suspension; they were represented by Elson Kaseke.
