Olympic women’s soccer team is facing a big set back.
In a statement, FIFA says they have deducted six points from the team at the Paris Olympics and three coaches are facing a one year ban, following a drone-spying scandal.
“Beverly Priestman, Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander: each official suspended from taking part in any football-related activity for a period of one year.”
Another punishment includes a $200,000 Swiss Francs fine.
Head Coach Bev Priestman was already suspended for one year after two assistant coaches were found using a drone to spy on the New Zealand soccer team’s practice earlier in the week.
