Making their Olympic debut just seven years after they played their first official game, the South Sudan team saw a moment that would later be remembered as ruined by a mistake that angered players, managers and other fans.
The thing is, when the national anthem was supposed to be played in the pavilion, the organization made a mistake and played the anthem of… Sudan. The players were ready to fold their arms and live the moment, but… everything was ruined by a mistake that led to a huge whistle. A few minutes later, having found the right way, one of the most anticipated moments for the players from this African country arrived when they met Puerto Rico this morning.
Of course, mistakes happen… but this is the Olympic Games!
