By Rubén Morales Iglesias: As the Premier League of Belize 2023-24 Closing Championhip’s regular season reaches its climax, the battle for playoff positioning intensifies, with Port Layola, Altitude, and Benque Viejo United all locked in a three-way tie at 23 points behind top-seeded Verdes.

Each team is eager to secure a higher rank and avoid a semifinal matchup against the formidable Verdes. Altitude, with their history of overcoming Verdes, seem to have the psychological edge.

This weekend matches all scheduled for Saturday at 7:30 pm are crucial, particularly the face-off between Benque Viejo United and Port Layola, at the Edmund Marshalleck Stadium in Benque Viejo del Carmen, which could determine who secures the advantageous second place. Meanwhile, Altitude faces a determined Police Benque at the Michael Ashcroft Stadium in Independence. Police Benque, despite their low-ranking, are a team that has shown resilience against top-tier opponents.

Although Progresso’s playoff hopes are dashed, their match against Verdes at the People’s Stadium in Orange Walk is still significant, as pride and the desire to finish strong motivate both teams.

Lastly, the Bandits and Wagiya will face off at the Isidoro Beaton Stadium in Belmopan in a match that, while lacking playoff stakes, is still critical for both teams as they strive to finish the season on a high note.

These final games are not just about points; they’re about momentum, strategy, and the psychological advantage as the playoffs loom on the horizon.
