The assistant head coach and an analyst for the Canada women's soccer team have been kicked off the roster after a spying scandal erupted at the Paris Olympics. Head coach Bev Priestman will also miss her side's opening game against New Zealand on Thursday, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC) confirmed, after her staff were caught hovering a drone above their opponents' training session.

We already have an Olympic scandal: Canada women's soccer members sent home for spying on opponents with drone

Following Canada women's soccer coach Bev Priestman's removal from the Canadian Olympic team due to her staff's use of a drone to spy on opponents, Canada Soccer CEO & general secretary Kevin Blue has revealed that this spying was also attempted by the men's team at Copa America. Blue confirmed that Canadian men's soccer coach Jesse Marsch became aware of attempted drone usage during the tournament after the fact, but he does not believe that it assisted the team in winning matches. The Canucks were the surprise of the tournament where they advanced out of the group stage and ultimately finished fourth.

Nigeria returns to the Olympics as they face Brazil. It is time to continue our 2024 Olympics Women’s Soccer odds series with a Nigeria-Brazil prediction and pick. This will be the first time Nigeria has been at the Olympic games since the 2008 Olympics. In those games, they did not win a game, going with three losses, including a 3-1 loss to Brazil. Still, Nigeria does have some recent success on the international stage. In the 2023 World Cup, they beat Australia and would draw with both Canada and the Republic of Ireland to advance to the knock-out round. There, they would go to penalties with England, losing the game to the future runner-ups. Brazil failed to move out of the group stage in those games. They would advance to the knockout round in the 2020 Olympics, falling in penalties to Canada in the knockout round.
