Every other day, a new World Cup 2023 scandal emerges, and the list of disputes only grows more and longer as time goes on. The World Cup has already been under fire from experts and fans all around the world for a number of scheduling issues, including delayed schedule announcements and repeated schedule adjustments. Another common topic of conversation has been the venues that each team has been assigned.
Fury over Pakistan’s flag appearing in the World Cup anthem
The World Cup’s official theme song was unveiled by the ICC earlier today amid all the controversy. The song’s melody was provided by renowned musician Pritam, and it was finished by a group of well-known singers as part of a World Cup song. Fans have so far reacted differently to the anthem.
Some people find the music to be upbeat and contemporary, while others find it to be uninteresting and repetitive. In order to voice their dissatisfaction with the recently released album, many people also shared the well-known classic songs on their social media pages.
The World Cup anthem has, however, also recently been the subject of controversies. The Pakistani supporters’ dissatisfaction with the scale of the Pakistan flag seen in the video has caused the backlash. Since the afternoon, the message has gone popular on social media.
Pakistani fans are upset with the flag’s size in the World Cup anthem.
Numerous Pakistani supporters considered the anthem objectionable as it gained popularity worldwide. The size of the flag displayed in one of the anthem’s frames is the cause. Some supporters claim that the Pakistani flag is purposefully displayed in a small size.
They believed that the Pakistani flag is relatively small in comparison to the flags of the other countries seen in the film. Other flags from nations including South Africa, England, Sri Lanka, and India can also be seen in the same frame, but their sizes are noticeably larger than Pakistan’s flag.
