Cabinet approves improvements in Carl Ramos Stadium

Last week we reported on the strong possibility that, due to the poor condition of the country’s football stadiums, Belize would be forced to play both its 2008 World Cup qualifying matches abroad. It was noted that the Football Federation of Belize would be speaking to government on the issue and yesterday evening Press Office Chief Nuri Muhammed confirmed that Cabinet has decided to take action.
