Current AFC flag and emblem

The 61st FIFA congress was held at Hellenstadion in Zurich, Switzerland on 31 May - 01 June 2011 (www.fifa.com). Flags of the 208 member associations plus those of FIFA six continental confederations, International Olympic Committee, United Nations and FIFA itself were hoisted on the ceiling of Hellenstadion convention center.
Out of the photo gallery published by FIFA in its official website, I share the following notes:
- Chinese Taipei flag was a blue one with old association's emblem: plum blosoom with sun, ying-yang and footballs.
- The Curazao flag (blue with yellow stripe and white stars) is already hoisted, there is no flag for the defunc Netherlands Antilles.
- The Somalia flag was hoisted upside-down, e.g. downwar five-pointed star.
- The OFC flag is white withe the new emblem and abbreviation.
- The AFC flag is white.
- The UEFA flag is blue with the confederation's emblem
- The CONCACAF is white.
- The CAF flag bears the new logo on white background.

Previous AFC flag

The first and oldest emblem of the Assian Fooball Association was in since 1954, and replaced in October 2001. The emblem consiste of a shield bearing the initial of the body: AFC above a football-ball and beneath a scroll that read "Asia".
The emblem used to be employed on yellow or green clothes.

they show the AFC fair play logo on a blue flag, vindicating the same fair play principles as FIFA's. These images were taken during the AFC Champions league competition, the most important club competition organized by the AFC.
