AdvertisementIt also came as FIFA released a full report of the findings that led to its decision to punish Canada for using a drone to watch New Zealand practice ahead of their Olympic opener.
In an email sent March 20, the performance analyst, whose name was redacted from FIFA’s report, contacted Priestman about preparing for Olympic opponents.
FIFA’s decision concerned Canada Soccer’s actions at the Olympics only, leaving open room for additional punishment for any wider system of spying.
Before Priestman’s suspension from FIFA, she was suspended through the Olympics and Canada Soccer said it was investigating both the men’s and women’s soccer programs widely.
Canada Soccer told FIFA on Saturday that Priestman’s references to spying in the men’s program referenced a specific person.
