SINGAPORE – Sport Singapore has apologised for mixing up the identities of two footballers on a banner that was meant to rally support for national athletes at the ongoing SEA Games.

The banner, which features 11 athletes, states that it is from the Ang Mo Kio-Hougang division of Ang Mo Kio GRC. Other organisations’ names printed at the bottom of the banner include the People’s Association , the Singapore National Olympic Council, the Tote Board and national sports agency SportSG.

In response to queries from ST, SportSG confirmed that the mistake, which it said was a clerical error, was “rectified immediately” when it was brought to its attention.
