Canada Women's Soccer Team Advances to Olympic Quarterfinals Amid Spying Scandal

A six-point deduction for drone spying did not stop Canada from securing a spot in the knockout stage, facing Germany next.

Emails revealed drone spying was a systemic practice within Canada Soccer, involving both men's and women's teams.
Canada's appeal against the six-point penalty was dismissed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Head coach Bev Priestman and two assistants were suspended for one year due to their involvement in the scandal.
Despite the controversy, Canada won all three of their group stage matches, including a crucial victory over Colombia.
The team now prepares to face Germany in the quarterfinals, aiming to defend their Olympic title.
