Vancouver Whitecaps to Play Miami in Concacaf Semifinal

The Caps will host the first leg at BC Place on April 23 or 24. Dates and times for both legs will be announced Thursday morning.
Vancouver Whitecaps vs Miami in Concacaf Semifinal
Whitecaps FC are the first team in MLS history to twice advance past a Liga MX opponent in Mexico after not taking a lead into the second leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup.
Concacaf Champions Cup features the best 27 teams from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean. The Whitecaps earned their way in last season when they won the TELUS Canadian Championship (their third Voyageurs Cup in four years).
While this is Messi’s squad, there is no guarantee the superstar will travel to Vancouver, however the chances do seem better than last season (since this is a major cup competition) when fans who counted on his appearance were disappointed.
