Liam Mackenzie of Comox and his teammates on Canada鈥檚 Under-17 men鈥檚 soccer team have qualified for the U17 World Cup later this year in Peru.
Canada beat Puerto Rico 3-0 Wednesday at the Concacaf (Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football) Championships, bumping its record to 3-1 at the tournament in Guatemala. Mackenzie, a midfielder, subbed in at the 64th minute.
Canada鈥檚 only loss so far has been to the U.S., who they play in Friday鈥檚 semi-final. The victor advances to Sunday鈥檚 final against the winner of the Mexico/Panama semi.
