WE ARE THE PREMIER LEAGUE OF BELIZE
The Premier League of Belize (PLB) is a private organization of an associative nature owned by the club owners and is registered under Chapter 250 of The Laws of Belize. The PLB which has been in existence since 2011, is an affiliate member of the Football Federation of Belize (FFB) and was given the mandate to manage and administrate non-amateur football at the highest competitive level, and to assist in ensuring that clubs have mechanisms in place that will also foster the development of players at all levels in Belize.
The PLB consist of (9) legally registered clubs of which (8) are currently participating in the 2022/2023 Premier League Championship. The Premier League of Belize over the years have generated a wide range of economic and social returns since its inception in 2011. The league and its club have achieved considerable success, establishing a strong national reputation for an above average quality and exciting football.
Football is the most popular sports in Belize, it is more than just a game. The Premier League of Belize is that conduit which provides employment for over three hundred (300) players, coaches, and technical staff. It provides a stimulus to the economy by allowing several other sectors to share a symbiotic economic relationship. Our observation locally has shown that involvement in this sector, in general, has positively impacted the reconstruction of our social fabric.
Every four (4) years the PLB Congress Members elect an executive committee, which comprises of a president, vice president and three (3) executive members (of which one shall be a female member). The President primary responsibility is to effectively administrate the affairs of the league and implement the decisions passed by congress and the executive committee through the secretariat. The league has a full-time secretariat which is managed by a general secretary, who is also responsible for the day-to-day operations of the league, for implementing decisions passed by congress and the executive committee, and to ensure that there is a monitoring and evaluation system in place to access the effectiveness of decision and policies implemented.
