Canada's FIFA Drone Spying Appeal Dismissed
News summary

Canada's appeal against the six-point deduction in the Paris Olympics women's soccer tournament, imposed by FIFA due to a drone-spying incident, was dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Two assistant coaches were caught using drones to spy on New Zealand’s practices, leading to the suspension of head coach Bev Priestman and two others for one year. Despite winning their matches against New Zealand and France, Canada remains at zero points and must win against Colombia to advance to the knockout stage. The decision has been criticized by Canadian officials, who argue the penalty unfairly punishes the athletes. FIFA also fined Canada Soccer C$313,000 for the incident.
