Canadian Olympic Committee CEO David Shoemaker says the organization is considering appealing the decision by the International Football Federation (FIFA) in the case of surveillance of rival Canadian soccer players’ training using a drone.
Earlier, it was reported that the New Zealand national team’s training was interrupted due to a drone launched by a Canadian team employee. The Canadian NOC later apologized to the New Zealand NOC, as well as the country’s football federation, for the incident.
FIFA then fined the Canadian Football Association (CSA) 200,000 Swiss francs and punished the country’s women’s team by stripping the country’s women’s team of six points in the group stage of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Canadian national team head coach Beverly Priestman and her assistant Jasmine Mander were suspended from football for one year.
“We sympathize with the Canadian national team players who, to our knowledge, had nothing to do with this incident. “We are currently exploring with the CSA the possibility of appealing the decision to remove points,” journalist Devin Hero quoted Shoemaker as saying on social media.
The Paris Olympics will end on August 11.
