opening men's basketball game at the Paris 2024 Olympics, a significant error occurred when the wrong national anthem was played for South Sudan. Instead of South Sudan's anthem, the Sudanese anthem was mistakenly broadcasted, leading to confusion and discontent among the spectators at the Pierre Mauroy stadium.

The incident happened on Sunday before South Sudan's game against Puerto Rico. As the Sudanese anthem played over the loudspeakers, there was immediate backlash from the crowd, who expressed their dissatisfaction with boos. The audio issue was promptly corrected after a brief pause, and the South Sudanese anthem was played, eliciting an ovation from the audience.
