UEFA has fined France 20,000 euros ($22,200) for playing the wrong national anthem for Albania ahead of a Euro 2020 qualifying match last month, according to multiple sources.

The Andorra national anthem was played instead of Albania’s prior to the September 7 fixture, triggering confusion and a delay in the start of the game as the correct anthem was subsequently aired.

France won the match 4-1.
