New Zealand Football has called for Canada to forfeit any points from their upcoming match following revelations of a second drone spying attempt on the Football Ferns by the Canadian team.
The Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) maintains that women’s team head coach Bev Priestman was unaware of the espionage and has removed her from the match, along with sending home two implicated staff members.
FIFA has begun disciplinary proceedings and Canada Soccer has launched an independent review.
New Zealand Football CEO Andrew Pragnall has demanded urgent action from FIFA, stressing the gravity of the situation and its potential impact on the tournament’s integrity. He criticized the Canadian team’s actions and highlighted the importance of addressing this breach of fair play.
