尽管尼日利亚足球联合会提供了新国歌，但尼日利亚超级雄鹰队在对阵贝宁的世界杯预选赛比赛中却演奏了旧国歌。 Nigeria's Super Eagles played the old national anthem during a World Cup qualifier against Benin, despite NFF providing the new one.
尼日利亚足球队超级雄鹰队在与贝宁共和国举行的世界杯预选赛比赛中演奏了旧国歌《同胞们，起来吧》，尽管尼日利亚足协 (NFF) 提供了新国歌《尼日利亚，我们向你致敬》的录音，而总统博拉·蒂努布于 5 月 29 日再次推出了该国歌。 Nigeria's football team, the Super Eagles, played the old national anthem, "Arise O Compatriots," during a FIFA World Cup qualifier match against Benin Republic, despite the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) providing a recording of the new anthem, "Nigeria We Hail Thee," which was reintroduced by President Bola Tinubu on May 29. 尼日利亚足球联合会对这一错误表示抗议，并坚持要求在下半场开始前演奏正确的国歌。 The NFF protested the error and insisted that the correct anthem be played before the start of the second half.
