Canada women’s soccer team has lost its appeal against FIFA’s penalty of a six-point docking following the drone-spying scandal that marred the team at the beginning of the Paris Olympics.
Despite being the only team in Group A with two wins, Canada will maintain its six-point penalty, leaving them with zero points in the group standings. The team currently sits three points behind the group leaders but boasts the highest goal differential of any team at +2.
Looking ahead, Canada is set to face Colombia on Wednesday. A victory in this crucial match could potentially propel the team into the knockout stage, despite the shadow cast by the scandal during their time in Paris.
It is worth noting that Canada's women's soccer team is the defending gold medal champions, adding further significance to their current campaign in the Paris Olympics.
