In July 2024, staff from the Canadian Soccer Association were discovered to be using drone surveillance to spy on a training session for the New Zealand women's national football team at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Following journalistic investigation of this incident, information came to light suggesting the organization had committed systemic spying through drones for several years for both the men's and women's national teams. Formal investigations by the Canadian Soccer Association and FIFA began immediately and the latter resulted in a six point deduction for the women's national team at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
