The Campbell River Youth Soccer Association is hosting hundreds of athletes this weekend for the Mini World Cup.

The association said in a Facebook post it was ready for 104 registered teams for the tournament.

There will be a full road closure on Merecroft Road as a result, between South Birch Street and the Campbell River Youth Soccer Clubhouse at 450 Merecroft Road.

The closure will be in place both Saturday and Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Community members are asked to follow all traffic controls in place, and cheer on the future soccer stars.
