Canada Appeal Denied Over Olympic Soccer Penalty

News summary

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed Canada's appeal against a six-point deduction imposed on its Olympic women's soccer team due to a drone spying scandal involving New Zealand's training sessions. The ruling was made just hours before Canada faced Colombia in a crucial match, with the team needing a win to advance in the tournament. The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canada Soccer expressed disappointment but commended the players for their resilience during the competition. Additionally, head coach Bev Priestman and two assistants received one-year bans from FIFA, which were not contested in the appeal. Canada remains in a difficult position in the standings, having won their matches against New Zealand and France but starting with zero points due to the penalty. The court's full reasoning for the decision will be published later.
