FIFA vice-president says Canada's drone-spying at Olympics was 'completely stupid'

The article from MSN discusses comments made by FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani regarding an incident at the 2023 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, where Canada was accused of using a drone to spy on the Colombian women's soccer team during a training session. Montagliani described the act as "completely stupid" and emphasized that such tactics are unnecessary in modern sports where teams can easily access information about each other through various legal means. He highlighted the importance of sportsmanship and integrity, suggesting that the focus should be on fair play rather than espionage.

Montagliani also noted that while the act was foolish, it did not reflect on the integrity of the Canadian team as a whole.
