Niger's Flag Displayed Instead of Nigeria's During World Cup Opening Ceremony
The opening ceremony organizers made a notorious mistake when they displayed Niger's flag while announcing Nigeria on Thursday.
Instead of Nigeria's flag, it projected an image of Niger's flag onto the globe at midfield during the opening ceremony of the World Cup.
This isn't the first time the wrong flag has been displayed during a major sporting event. In the 2012 London Olympics, a women's soccer match between North Korea and Colombia was delayed because the organizers showed the South Korean flag while introducing the North Korean team, and the players refused to take the field.
