The stadium Marylebone Cricket Club Grounds (short MCC Grounds ) is a football stadium in the north of Belize City .

It is traditionally the stadium for all Belize City clubs that play in national or international competitions. But it is only the home ground of the two clubs Belize FC and Belize Defense Force , it is also used for high school competitions.

The stadium opened in the 1950s and was named after the English Marylebone Cricket Club that visited Belize in 1960 (still a British colony at the time) on its tour of the Caribbean.
