Canada Soccer suspended Beverly Priestman as the Olympic head coach after a drone was flown over New Zealand's training session, revealing previous drone use against opponents.
Priestman voluntarily withdrew from a match, an assistant was sent home, and an unaccredited analyst faced consequences for drone-related activities.
An external review will take place as Priestman is suspended for the rest of the Games, while Assistant Coach Andy Spence assumes coaching duties.
Fifa initiated disciplinary actions against Priestman, Lombardi, and Mander in response to the drone incident occurring during the Paris 2024 Olympics Women's Football.
