Bev Priestman says she ‘had to get out’ of Canada after drone-spying scandal

July 30, 2025

Bev Priestman, the former head coach of Canada’s women’s national soccer team – who was banned by FIFA for her role in a drone spying scandal at the Paris Olympics – has been hired as head coach of New Zealand’s only professional women’s team.

Priestman made her return to soccer this week after her one-year ban. The ban expired the day before New Zealand’s Wellington Phoenix announced Priestman would be the new coach of their women’s squad.
