According to Portuguese outlet A BOLA, the European Championship hosts Germany have committed an embarrassing blunder by inverting the colors of the Portuguese flag.
At the venue for the opening match and ceremony, the Allianz Arena, journalists noticed a glaring mistake on a panel in the media center – the Portuguese flag is traditionally green on the left and red on the right, but the organizers inadvertently displayed it as a mirror image.
Fortunately, the rest of the media center operations and arrangements were well-organized, with over 300 journalists comfortably accommodated, and this minor incident did not disrupt the host’s overall schedule.
