Brexit appears to have come early for England at the Commonwealth Games as it was listed as an African country with a population of two million in the official programme.
Australian organisers sought to make light of the embarrassing gaffe after England were somehow confused with Gambia, a West African nation which rejoined the Commonwealth in February after leaving in 2013.
"There was an overprint," said Mark Peters, chief executive of the Gold Coast Games.
"We found out about it maybe 10 days ago.
"We went and spoke to England and said, 'Congratulations, the Commonwealth's changing and it has since Brexit, and you are now a part of Africa'.
"Sometimes you make mistakes and we copped it."
"They implored us not to do that," said Peters. "We are actually doing a special reprint of 500 to give to the English and the Commonwealth Games Federation to make sure that in terms of records, that's done correctly."
He added: "They're going to be so valuable after the Games because of that mistake."
