The Canadian women's football team suffered a heavy blow in its defense of the Paris Olympics. FIFA announced on the 27th that the Canadian team was deducted 6 points in the Paris Olympics group stage and head coach Priestman was suspended for one year due to the previous use of drones to film opponent training.
The Tokyo Olympic champion Canadian women's football team was in the same group as New Zealand, France and Colombia at the Paris Olympics. Before the start of the Canadian team's 2:1 victory over the New Zealand team on the 25th, the New Zealand team complained about the Canadian team's use of drones to film the country's women's football training. Later, while the Canadian side expressed its apology, the two coaching staff involved Members Lombardi and Mander returned to the country, and Priestman also suspended his coaching work. According to reference news: Canada has sent two staff members back home on the 24th.
According to the penalty results of FIFA, the Canadian team was deducted 6 points from the Paris Olympic Women's Football Group A and fined 200,000 Swiss francs (approximately 1.641 million yuan). At the same time, Priestman, Lombardi and Mander are prohibited from participating in any football-related activities for a year.
