Tirana, Albania: Albania's prime minister says French President Emmanuel Macron has apologised to him after the wrong national anthem was played ahead of a European Championship qualifier between the two countries on Saturday.

Edi Rama tweeted on Sunday that Macron expressed "his sincere apology for the scandalous gaffe of the French Football Federation with our National Flag anthem!"

France won the Group H game in Paris 4-1.

Albanian players looked bemused - and fans angry - when Andorra's anthem was played instead of Albania's. Andorra is in the same qualifying group as France and Albania.
