2024 Olympics: France plays wrong anthem for South Sudan debut | Firstpost Africa
South Sudan's Olympic debut in men's basketball started poorly but ended with the country's first victory of the Games, a 90-79 win over Puerto Rico on Sunday.
The wrong national anthem was played for the African nation before the start of the match. The recorded track was stopped after 20 seconds.
The South Sudanese players and their fans stood confused and cheered. They started clapping as the South Sudanese players stood in unison with their hands on their hearts, waiting for the right song.
