Wrong anthems played at Asian Para Games in Nagoya, Japan

During the ongoing Asian Para Games in Nagoya, Japan, officials played the wrong national anthems three times this week. The incident occurred just days after the mishap-plagued Asian Games concluded on October 4. Following a gold medal ceremony in para taekwondo, the Iranian anthem was mistakenly played instead of that of the Taiwanese competitor. Additionally, officials broadcast the South Korean anthem instead of the Chinese anthem before a sitting volleyball match. The mayor of Nagoya, Ichiro Hirosawa, expressed regret over the errors and assured that measures had been taken to avoid such mistakes after the previous events.
