The Lindo family, originally from Belize, has long been intertwined with the world of soccer, a passion that began on dusty fields and grew into a shared dream for each member.
John Lindo, the family’s patriarch, spends his weekends coaching his youngest son, Marlon, instilling discipline and a love for the game that stretches beyond the backyard.
Jacob Lindo, a 16‑year‑old elite footballer, is currently recovering from an injury that kept him off the pitch, yet his determination remains undiminished after a stint at the Paris Saint‑Germain academy.
A Birthday Celebration in Los Angeles
Jacob’s birthday party at the Football Boutique in Los Angeles gathered friends, family and a few scouts, turning the milestone into an emotional boost that underscored the family’s tight bond.
Mira Lindo, the mother, often reflects on how sport teaches resilience and teamwork, and she finds herself cheering for France, Senegal or Haiti as the World Cup unfolds.
Raymond Rickman Lindo, the eldest brother, was invited to a tournament in Barcelona and describes Spain as the heart of football, even placing his bet on France to win the championship.
Together, the Lindos navigate different team loyalties — Mira’s multi‑nation support, Raymond’s confidence in France, and Jacob’s personal fight to return to play — weaving a narrative that links their Belize roots to global soccer stages.
