By Rubén Morales Iglesias: National champions Verdes and Belize City’s Port Layola kick off the Premier League of Belize (PLB) Opening Season at 5:00 pm on Saturday at the Edmund Marshalleck Stadium in Benque Viejo del Carmen.

Verdes have had several pre-season games in Belize and Mexico including a 0-0 draw against Salvadoran club Platense in the Scotiabank Concacaf League last Wednesday. Port Layola had one PLB-level pre-season match last weekend in which they defeated the Belmopan Bandits 3-2 in Belmopan.

The other three games tonight all play at 7:30 pm.

National subchampions Altitude receive Benque Viejo United South at the Michael Ashcroft Stadium in Independence.

The Belmopan Bandits host Orange Walk’s Progresso FC at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium in Belmopan.

And the San Pedro Pirates take on Dangriga’s Wagiya at the Ambergris Stadium in San Pedro.

According to PLB General Manager Wilhelm Miguel, the Opening Season’s regular season will be a double round robin. The four top teams qualify to the home and away semifinals. Club #1 will play Club #4 and Club #2 will face Club #3.

The winners advance to the two-game Finals which should end on the weekend of November 26-27.
