Findings from the independent report by Sonia Regenbogen into the drone-spying scandal involving the Canadian women’s soccer team at the Paris Olympics:
— Two of the women’s national team coaches directed, approved and condoned the actions taken by a third member of the women’s national team coaching staff to film practices of an opposing team at the Paris Olympics using a drone.
— Some assistant coaches and staff members felt uncomfortable with the practice of spying on opponents but did not feel they could challenge the authority of the head coach. Two of the women’s national team coaches directed acts of improper surveillance predating the 2024 Paris Olympics.
— Potential violations of the Canada Soccer Code of Conduct and Ethics by the former head coach of the men’s national Team were identified. Pursuant to the Canada Soccer Disciplinary Code, a disciplinary process is being initiated to adjudicate these potential violations.
