The Belize national football team represents Belize in international football and is controlled by the Football Federation of Belize, a member of the Central American Football Union of CONCACAF.

Although Belize has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup tournament, it has once qualified for a CONCACAF Gold Cup championship in 2013, in which they were eliminated in the group stage. Belize has also competed in the sub-regional Central American Cup championship in which their best result was fourth place in 2013. The nickname for the players of the national team is the "Jaguars".

History

=Overview=

Named British Honduras whilst under British colonial rule, the country's first international game came on February 19, 1928, beating Honduras 1–0. Following independence, Belize's first game came on December 8, 1983, in a 2–0 loss against Canada in Belize.{{Cite web|url=https://www.eloratings.net/Belize|title=World Football Elo Ratings: Belize|access-date=28 September 2019|website=Elo Ratings|archive-date=October 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201027154016/https://www.eloratings.net/Belize|url-status=live}} Although Belize gained independence from the United Kingdom in 1981 (and many of the UK's current colonies have international teams), Belize did not begin to regularly play international football until 1995. It made its debut at the 1995 UNCAF Nations Cup and was eliminated in the first round after losing to El Salvador and Costa Rica.

Belize has never qualified for the World Cup but finished fourth in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana. Their fourth-place finish in the 2013 Copa Centroamericana gave Belize its first qualification to a major international competition, that being the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

=June 2011 suspension by FIFA=

On June 15, 2011, Belize kicked off its 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign 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 June 19 was postponed by FIFA when they

suspended the FFB due to governmental interference.[https://web.archive.org/web/20190108093226/https://www.fifa.com/worldcup/news/suspension-the-football-federation-belize-1454212 Suspension of the Football Federation of Belize] – FIFA

Team image

In February 2023 the Football Federation of Belize unveiled a new logo that would represent Belize’s national teams. Created by Rolando Ramirez, the new logo prominently features a Jaguar, the nickname of the team. The FFB hoped that the new image would promote unity and pride in the Belize football community.{{cite web |last1=Iglesias |first1=Rubén Morales |title=Unleashing the power of The Jaguars: Football Federation of Belize reveals new Belize National Football Team logo by Rolando Ramirez |url=https://www.breakingbelizenews.com/2023/02/10/unleashing-the-power-of-the-jaguars-football-federation-of-belize-reveals-new-belize-national-football-team-logo-by-rolando-ramirez/ |publisher=Breaking Belize News |access-date=27 March 2024}}
