FFB Launches Project Mexico-Belize to Boost National Team

The Football Federation of Belize (FFB) has kicked off Project Mexico-Belize, an initiative aimed at strengthening the Senior Men’s National Football Team ahead of June’s World Cup Qualifiers.

Belize will face Montserrat on June 4 and Panama at home on June 7 in Belmopan.

Leading the project is veteran football professional Daniel Bartolotta, who will serve as senior advisor. He’ll be supported by Diego Bartolotta, Enrique Meza Jr., and coach Enrique Meza Sr., all bringing international experience to help boost both the team and local coaching talent.

The support team’s involvement comes at no cost to the FFB.

The initiative includes a full-time player training camp with weekly stipends, fitness and nutrition support, and mental wellness services. It also offers Belizean coaches mentorship opportunities from seasoned international staff.

FFB President Sergio Chuc said the project is about more than this year’s qualifiers—it’s about building the future of football in Belize. With over $300,000 BZD invested, Project Mexico-Belize represents a major step forward for the national programme, combining global expertise with local development.
