[Mexican Football Federation emblem]
by Juan Manuel Gabino Villasc�n, June 1, 2002

The flag is displayed at the building see of the the Federaci�n Mexicana de F�tbol (Mexican Football Federation) at:

Colima 373,
Colonia: Roma Norte,
C.P.: 06700,
Delagaci�n Cuauht�moc, M�xico, D. F.

The FMF was founded 1927, affiliated to FIFA in 1929, and affiliated to CONCACAF (current Football Confederation) in 1961.
M�xico has organized two Football World Cups, one in 1970 (then called Jules Rimet Cup) 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.

I do not know when the emblem and flag were adopted; though the emblem with slightly variations is in use since 40's.
