Fifa announced the sanctions – which include a fine of £175,720 – a day after English-born Priestman was removed as Canada’s Olympic head coach.

Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) officials Joseph Lombardi and Jasmine Mander have also been suspended for a year.

In a statement, football’s governing body Fifa said the CSA was in “violation” of its principles.

Priestman has been suspended by the CSA following the incident that saw a drone flown over New Zealand’s training session on Monday.
