The Nigeria Football Federation has attributed the national anthem mix-up to the Benin Football Federation, stating that they provided them with the updated version.
NFF has attributed the confusion during the singing of the Nigerian national anthem at the World Cup qualification match on Monday to the Benin Republic Football Federation (FBF).
NFF said, “We gave them the recording of our new national anthem, only for them to play the wrong one at the beginning of the match,”
“We protested strongly, and insisted that the Super Eagles would not start the second half until the new national anthem of Nigeria was played.”
