The organizers of the Copa America Centenario apologized on Sunday night for inadvertently playing the Chilean national anthem instead of the Uruguayan anthem prior to the match between Uruguay and Mexico in Glendale, Ariz. on Sunday.
The apology was posted during the game on Twitter and sent out as a press release. The statement read:
"This evening during the pre-match ceremony, due to human error, we inadvertently played the incorrect national anthem. We sincerely apologize to the Uruguayan Federation, the Uruguay national team, the people of Uruguay and to the fans for this mistake. We will work with all parties involved to ensure such an error does not occur again."
Uruguay lost to Mexico, 3-1.
