Olympics 2024: France Plays Wrong National Anthem For South Sudan’s Debut| Firstpost Africa

France seems to be setting a new standard for Olympic mishaps this year, with one blunder following another. From introducing South Korea as North Korea at the opening ceremony to the latest fiasco involving South Sudan's national anthem, the list of errors is growing longer by the day. The South Sudan incident, where the wrong anthem was played before the team’s debut basketball match, has added another embarrassing chapter to an already tumultuous start. As the world watches, many are left wondering if the organisers can get anything right at these games. Watch the video to know more.

    The French classify these low-level mistakes which disrespect other countries as relaxation. Very French.

    I thought First Post reports useful stories and not these trivial matters that spur hate. The Olympics are celbration of sport and humanity. I did not see one video about the leaderboard, the surfing image or the swimming record. Useless.

    I appreciate the work and efforts you put into your news coverage, especially on the Olympics. However, I’ve noticed that your reporting tends to focus heavily on criticism. While it's important to point out flaws, why not also highlight the hard work and positive aspects of organizing such a large event? I understand that critical content often attracts more views online, but as a major news channel, you have the opportunity to balance your coverage. By acknowledging both the successes and the mistakes of the 2024 Olympics, you can provide a more comprehensive view and help future organizers improve. There's a lot of good happening too, and it would be great to see you cover that as well.
