The Belarusians did not laugh. The Finnish anthem of the Palau archipelago was played in Minsk – PRAVDA.sk

The Christmas mess has amused hockey fans around the world. Instead of the Belarusian anthem, the hockey players of Dynamo Minsk played the anthem of the Pacific archipelago of Palau before the meeting of the Continental League on the ice of the Jokerit Helsinki.

Following guest complaints, the Finnish club apologized for the technical inadmissibility. KHL officials said the disc jockey at Hartwall Arena mistaken both anthems. The Jokerit was fined by the competition.

“What happened before the match is, in our opinion, disrespect for the players of our team, Dynamo Minsk as a club and the whole country. I am convinced that our club does not deserve such an approach and these events are absolutely unacceptable in sports competitions.

I am sure that the KHL will not just pass the incident, “said the general director of the Belarusian team, Sergei Suško, after Wednesday’s match, in which the Jokerit also won 2: 1 in overtime thanks to the goal of the Czech defender David Sklenička.

Finally, the domestic Finnish club also commented on this event. “Before the match between the Jokerite and Dynamo Minsk, the wrong national anthem was played instead of the national anthem of Belarus. It was caused by human error. The Jokerit deeply regrets this event and the Dynamo team apologizes deeply. “
