Olympics 2024: Wrong national anthem played for South Sudan team

“They [the organisers] have to be better because this is the biggest stage, and you know that South Sudan is playing,” said Majok Deng.

“There’s no way you can get that wrong by playing a different anthem. It’s disrespectful,” he continued.

“Obviously, nobody’s perfect. They made a mistake. They played it at the end, and we moved on.”

The organisers of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games gave their “most sincere apologies to the team from South Sudan and their supporters for the human error.”

“We fully understand the gravity of the mistake,” the statement read.
