FIFA deducted six points from Canada in the Paris Olympics women's football tournament and banned three coaches for one year each in a drone spying scandal.
Head coach Bev Priestman, who led Canada to the Olympic title in Tokyo in 2021, already was suspended by the national football federation and then removed from the Olympic tournament. She is now banned from all football by FIFA for one year.
The judges found Priestman and her two assistants were each found responsible for offensive behaviour and violation of the principles of fair play. The Canadian federation was held responsible for not ensuring its staff complied with tournament rules.
