In a separate development, FIFA stripped Canada of six points in the Paris Olympics women’s soccer tournament and banned three coaches for one year for devising a drone-spying scandal. The scandal involved two assistants using drones to spy on opponent New Zealand’s practices before their opening game. The Canadian Soccer Federation was fined 200,000 Swiss francs, and head coach Bev Priestman and her assistants were banned from all soccer for a year.
The Canadian federation is exploring an appeal against the deducted points, which does not eliminate Canada from the tournament but makes their path to the quarterfinals challenging. This incident is a source of embarrassment for FIFA as well as the Canadian federation, which is a key partner in organizing the 2026 men’s World Cup. The case is now heading to the Court of Arbitration for Sport for further review.
