A scandal involving drone spying has erupted within Canada Soccer, leading to the suspension of women's national team coach Bev Priestman and two staff members amid allegations of surveillance during the Paris Olympics. CEO Kevin Blue confirmed that both the men's and women's teams have used drones for years, with recent incidents reported during Copa America, where men's coach Jesse Marsch was made aware of attempted drone usage but did not believe it impacted the team's performance. The Canadian Olympic Committee has expressed concerns that these developments could tarnish the women's team's gold medal from the Tokyo 2020 Games. Blue emphasized that players have not engaged in any unethical behavior and urged FIFA to consider this in their investigations. A formal review is underway to address what has been described as a potentially systemic issue within Canada Soccer. The women’s team will be led by assistant coach Andy Spence for the remainder of the Olympics.
