This may have been asked before but as a non-American can someone tell me why you would play the national anthem at a club game?Does this happen a lower levels of sport? Schools?
It would only be played in New Zealand at an international match ...that is one between countries.
Pretty much any formal competitive sports game, including high school. Probably not non-league sports, which aren't going to have notable numbers of spectators. Relic of Cold War 1950s hyperpatriotism, like most of this type of utter nonsense.
