AFC flag and emblem

This is the new flag of the Asian Football Confederation -AFC-, adopted in October 2001.
This is a blue field (like FIFA's) with the new body's logo. The motto reads: The future is Asia.
The flag was seen during the Preliminary Draw of the AFC Nations Cup to be held by the People's Republic of China in 2004.
Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, February 24, 2003.

Previous AFC flag

The first and oldest emblem of the Asian Fooball Confederation dates back to 1954, to be replaced in October 2001. The emblem consists of a shield bearing the initials of the body "AFC" above a football beneath a scroll reading "Asia".
The emblem used to be employed on yellow or green clothes.
Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, February 24, 2003.
