Football was played only in the port city of Belize City where, since 1919/20, a regional soccer championship was held each year, dominated by a team called Preston in the first decade.
It was only in the 1970s that a country-wide first league called Interdistrict Championship established itself.
The biggest success of the national team was a fourth place at the Copa Centroamericana of 2013, when Belize were able to prevail in the pre-season group against Guatemala (0-0) and Nicaragua (2-1) and advanced to the semi-final.
There, the team lost 0-1 to Honduras and then in the game for third place with the same result against El Salvador.
