The Paris Olympics 2024 is in the news for multiple blunders right for the opening ceremony. On one occasion the organisers played Sudan’s national Anthem while the South Sudan National Basketball Team was making their Olympic debut. Players got confused and stood in disarray. A few days later, the Paris Olympics 2024 chiefs issued a groveling apology for playing the wrong national anthem ahead of their clash with Puerto Rico. The two sides met in Lille's Pierre Mauroy Stadium.
