Wales fans booed God Save the King before their international friendly against Northern Ireland at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday night. The match came after both teams suffered World Cup play-off defeats last week.
As the teams lined up for the national anthems, home supporters began booing the British anthem and could be heard chanting 'Wales, Wales' to drown it out. Welsh players and fans then sang their own anthem, 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau', loudly.
Northern Ireland took the lead through Jamie Donley, but Sorba Thomas equalised for Wales early in the second half, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.
This is not the first time Welsh football fans have booed God Save the King; they did so during a World Cup match against England in 2022. However, Welsh rugby fans observed the anthem respectfully during a Six Nations match in February.
