☆ Canada reach Olympic women’s soccer quarterfinals despite spying scandal points deduction
  + stars: | 2024-07-31 | by ( Nnamdi Onyeagwara | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Canada have qualified for the quarterfinals of the Olympic women’s soccer competition — despite the defending champions being deducted six points for spying on opponents earlier in the group stage. Canada were deducted six points by FIFA for flying a drone over opponents New Zealand’s training sessions ahead of the Games, and a wider spying scandal subsequently emerged. The points deduction was handed down ahead of the second group fixture against France, leaving Canada on minus three points in Group A and on the cusp of elimination. Canada arrived at the 2024 Games as the defending champions after winning a surprise gold in Tokyo.

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.

FIFA also noted that the decision was made — very quickly — because of its impact on the outcome of the ongoing Olympic tournament. With the limited size of the Olympic tournament at 12 teams, eight must advance — which means the top two third-place teams make it to the quarterfinals.

After staff members for the New Zealand team reported a drone flying above their practice in Saint-Étienne on July 22, they notified local police. Canada Soccer attempted to head off any further punishment by sending Lombardi and Mander (the assistant coach he reported to) back home.

☆ Canada removes coach Bev Priestman for Olympics after learning of more drone use against opponents

Canada removed women’s soccer coach Bev Priestman from the team for the rest of the Olympics on Friday morning in Paris after learning of drone use against opponents that predates this summer’s Games. Priestman did not coach against New Zealand after a staff member for Canada was caught flying a drone over New Zealand’s training session on Monday. “Over the past 24 hours, additional information has come to our attention regarding previous drone use against opponents, predating the Paris 2024 Olympic Games,” Canada Soccer CEO and general secretary Kevin Blue said in a statement. On Wednesday, the Canadian Olympic Committee said that it discovered a separate drone incident at New Zealand training on July 19. The committee said Canada Soccer staff would also undergo “mandatory ethics training.”A FIFA representative and a representative for Priestman did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
