Canada to appeal FIFA Olympics point deduction

The “Dronegate” scandal that has hit the 2024 Paris Olympics has taken its latest twist with the Canadian Soccer Association now appealing FIFA’s decision to dock the national women’s team six points at the group stage.

According to Canada Soccer the appeal was based on “the disproportionality of the sanction” which came after it was discovered a drone was used to spy on a rival team’s training session.

The appeal does not include the decision by FIFA to ban coach Bev Priestman from the sport for a year, nor the suspension of CSA officials Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander or the $226,000 dollar fine.

The six-point deduction means Canada are third in the group on zero points despite posting wins over New Zealand and tournament host France respectively.

Victory over Colombia in their final group game would aid their quest to secure qualification to the quarter-finals.

A decision on the appeal is expected on Tuesday.
