Amidst world cup excitement, Nanaimo hosts B.C. youth soccer championship
As Canada’s time hosting the FIFA world cup comes to a close, Nanaimo is hosting some of B.C.’s youth soccer talent. The Provincial A-Cup championship is on now through Sunday, July 12 in the Harbour City, featuring 40 teams from across the province, including 11 from Vancouver Island. Midcoast Morning spoke with organizers, players, and referees on the first day of competition about the tournament and the soccer landscape in Nanaimo, and B.C. more broadly.
