NICE, France – Members of the Canadian women’s soccer team should know if an appeal filed on their behalf has succeeded by midday on Wednesday, hours before they step onto the field for a potentially must-win game against Colombia at the 2024 Olympics.

The Canadian Olympic Committee and Canada Soccer officially appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Monday, asking it to examine the six-point deduction FIFA leveled after a member of Canada’s coaching staff was caught spying on an opponent. In a news release, the Canadians claim the sanction “unfairly punishes the athletes” for actions in which they had no part.
