3) South Africa
Here’s one truly diverse anthem! Composed of five different languages to represent different sections of the African nation, “God bless Africa” never fails to inspire even spectators from other nations. Ranked third in the list of longest anthems, this two-minute rendition is in actuality a combination of two different anthems, and even shifts melody midway, concluding in a different key.
One may think, it’s difficult to render without supporting music, but once when a technical glitch at the Kotla, stopped the South African Anthem midway during a WC 2011 group match, Graeme Smith and his boys managed perfectly fine, supported by a section of touring fans.
