The appeal by the Canadians was rejected by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). This was announced by the CAS. The decision will be explained later.
Before Canada's opening game at the Summer Games against New Zealand (2:1), the Canadians had used a drone to monitor their opponents' training twice, which Canada's NOC also admitted. National coach Bev Priestman, assistant Jasmine Mander and video analyst Joseph Lombardi were banned from all football activities by FIFA for one year. The Canadians did not appeal against these bans, but they did appeal against the points deduction, which they felt was disproportionate.
