and the last one in 1986.
The flag consists of a white cloth proportioned 4:7 with four equal wided
vertical stripes in the third part near the hoist (from hoist to fly): white,
green, white, and red; the remainder is centered by the FMF emblem.
The emblem is a depiction of the Piedra del Sol (Sun stone), incorrectly known as
Aztec Calendar, hold by a Mexican eagle. A football ball at the bottom; the achievement
surrounded by a ribbon with the Federation's name in capital letters.
