Canada’s women’s national soccer team (Paris 2024) was disciplined for ‘cutting points’ along with spying on opponents by flying drones → humiliation
“We will deprive Canada of six points for the Canadian women’s soccer team that is participating in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Canada’s coach Bev Priestman, coach Jasmine Mander and power analyst Joseph Lombardi will be suspended for one year,” FIFA said on Sunday.
The situation was like this. Canada launched a drone at the training ground of the New Zealand national team, its opponent in the first round of the group league, on the 22nd. It was discovered that it was trying to sneak information such as tactics, and it was humiliated.
As the international soccer community continued to criticize, Canada stated, “The players were not involved in this incident and did not watch the drone-recorded video.” However, with the points cut, the Canadian Football Association was fined 200,000 Swiss francs (about W313 million).메이저놀이터
Canada, which won the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, won the first game 2-1 against New Zealand, but due to the reduction of points, it will play the second and third rounds of the group stage with -3 players.
