Rules For FIFA Match Will Be Enforced At World Cup Qualifier
posted (June 3, 2015)

The FFB Stadium will also be the venue for the return match of Belize's world cup qualifier against the Dominican Republic. That happens on Sunday June 14th – which is father's day. But, we've got one piece of advice for fathers, if your kids give you a nice pen on that special day – don't take it to the game. That's only one items on a long list form small change to bottle caps that can't be seen at a FIFA match:..

Victor Briceno - Security Chief

"Anything that can injure someone - that's why some people might not understand why we took away pens, pencils, small stuff - bottles, perfume bottles those stuff will be taken away. Main reason because they can be used a projectile, they can be used in the heat of chaos people will use that as weapons. I know they will have some bars selling beverages, they will be selling water and soft drinks in their bottles. However what will occur with that because these with full content and the cover can become a projectile. You will be sold the soft drinks or water in the bottles, however the tops will be taken off."

So, basically, the rule is anything that can be used as a weapon or a projectile can't be taken to the game – which means carry only cash and small signs, maybe a drum and a noisemaker.
