During Sporting Events that have different nations which National Anthem is played first?

At sporting events involving multiple nations, the national anthem of the host country is typically played first, followed by the national anthem of the visiting team or teams. This is done as a sign of respect to the host nation and its citizens.

However, there may be variations to this protocol depending on the specific event, sporting organization, or traditions of the countries involved. In some cases, both national anthems may be played simultaneously or in alternating stanzas. Additionally, if there are multiple visiting teams from different countries, the order of playing their national anthems may be determined by various factors such as alphabetical order, ranking, or mutual agreement.
