The national team arrives with the wind in its jersey after the resounding 2-0 victory against New Zealand, on date 2 of Group A of the women's tournament, and seeks to be among the top eight teams.

The match begins on the field

Against Canada It will be a very special match because the dispute will start off the field of play. The American team has appealed to the Ad Hoc Tribunal of the Court of Arbitration for Sport for the Olympic Games for the six-point sanction he received from FIFA after an accusation of espionage against New Zealand.

THE Canadian Federation explains that he says the appeal “unfairly punishes the players.” “The appeal is based on the disproportionate nature of the sanction, which we believe unfairly punishes the athletes for actions in which they had no part and goes well beyond restoring fairness to the match against New Zealand,” they said.

The decision of the Ad Hoc Tribunal will be delivered this Wednesday, a few hours before the match between the Colombian national team and Canada for the last date of Group A.

Without Mayra against Canada

However, the team Coach Angelo Marsiglia He received very bad news before the match. The forward Mayra Ramirez He will not be in the match against the Canadiens because he will have to pay a second match suspension.

The artillery, which fights in the Chelsea English, was shown a red card after stamping on a French player during the 3-2 defeat of Colombia against the galas. It was thought that the sanction had already been served with his absence against New Zealand, given that it was for a single date, but the organization indicated that it was for two days due to the expulsion.

Mayra Ramirez will not be part of the crucial match of the Colombia National Team, that you must win to secure your place in the next round. The national team is top of Group A with 3 points, like France, but with a better goal difference.

Although the picture could change if the sanction were Canada It is appealed, since the North American team won both games and has no points to deduct; otherwise, I would have 6 units.
