It was founded on 28 December 2011[1] after the merger between the Belize Premier Football League and the Super League of Belize. HistoryThe formation of the league was a combination of Belize’s suspension by FIFA[2] and the Belize Premier Football League withdrawing from the Football Federation of Belize.[3] It was decided that a brand new top league was to be formed, the winner of which would represent Belize in the CONCACAF Champions League. OfficialsOn 6 January 2012 the current President of the League was announced as Jaime O. Perdomo, Jr, the Vice-President as Al Westby and the members being Celso Carcamo, Wilhelm Miguel and Onan McLean.[4] Subsequently, on 31 January 2012, The recently elected Executive announced that it had appointed Reynaldo Malik as the League's General Secretary.
