The Canadian women’s national soccer team has filed an appeal against the recent decision to deduct six points from their standing in the ongoing 2024 Paris Olympics. The penalty was imposed after it was revealed that the team used a drone to gather intelligence on their opponents New Zealand. This action, deemed a violation of the competition's rules, has sparked controversy.
Canada Soccer Association has condemned the penalty, arguing that it unfairly punishes the players, who were not directly involved in the decision to use the drone. They claim that the deduction significantly undermines the team’s chances in the Olympics.
The appeal is set for a final hearing on Wednesday, July 31st. The outcome of this hearing will determine whether the points deduction will be upheld or rescinded. The decision is eagerly awaited by both the team and its supporters, who are hopeful for a favorable resolution.
