FFB Stadium, Football stadium in Belmopan, Belize.
FFB Stadium is a football venue in Belmopan with a synthetic grass field and seating for around 5,000 spectators. Modern lighting systems allow matches to be played after dark, and the facility includes locker rooms and other amenities for teams.
Between April and July 2014 the stadium was upgraded to CONCACAF standards with a two million dollar FIFA donation, adding 1100–1600 lux floodlights, a FIFA-certified field, certified bleachers and team lockers. In August 2014 CONCACAF still ruled it unfit to host 2014–15 CONCACAF Champions League matches. FIFA Goal Project work on the synthetic pitch was completed in March 2019, covering 8,214 m².
The stadium hosts Belize's national football team and Police United of the Premier League of Belize; the Spanish-language source instead names Belmopan Blaze as the resident club.
