UEFA flags and emblem

[UEFA emblem]
image by Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, 18 June 2013

Here I attach the new flags used by UEFA. The UEFA flag and the RESPECT UEFA flag were first seen in January 20-27, 2013 during the 2014 UEFA Fustal Euro qualifying matches. They both were "hoisted" (since hoisted means be shown on a big screen) on Friday 24 May 2013 during the XXXVII Ordinary UEFA Congress in London, and during the matches of the 2013 UEFA under-21 Championship in Israel in early June 2013.
Though the flags came into use in 2013, the emblem was actually adopted at the XXXVI Ordynary UEFA Congress in Istanbul, on 22 March 2012.

The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship, commonly referred to as UEFA Euro 2020, or simply Euro 2020, is the 16th UEFA European Championship, the quadrennial international men's football championship of Europe organised by UEFA. Back in 2012 UEFA President Michel Platini said that the tournament was to be hosted in several nations as a "romantic" one-off event to celebrate the 60th "birthday" of the European Championship competition. It was initially scheduled to be hosted in 13 cities, but it was finally reduced down to 11. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the tournament was postponed to 2021 to allow fans at stadiums.

UEFA selected Y&R (originally Young & Rubicam) operating as part of VMLY&R, its parent company, as the creative agency following an international pitch to develop the brand for UEFA EURO 2020. The logo includes a bridge motif which will be incorporated into each host city's logo as well as imagery with monuments, historic buildings and the stadium where the games will take place included. The official logo was unveiled on September 21, 2016, during a ceremony at the City Hall in London. The logo depicts the Henri Delaunay Trophy surrounded by celebrating fans on a bridge, which, according to UEFA, represents how football connects and unifies people. Each individual host city also has their own unique logo. The rectangular logos feature the text "UEFA EURO 2020" on the top, the city name above the text "host city" on the bottom (all in uppercase), the main tournament logo on the left and a local bridge on the right. Each logo exists in English, along with variations in the local language when applicable. The logos were unveiled from September 2016 to January 2017. The main flag features the logo on a blue background which features a stationery made up of all the elements' silhouettes that are part of the brand (i.e. soccer balls, bridges and fans).

UEFA European Qualifiers

Used at Russia 2018 qualifiers source; image by Zachary Harden, 3 September 2021

"The UEFA European Qualifiers refers to qualifying matches for international association football tournaments in the UEFA zone. It mainly refers to UEFA European Championship qualifying matches for the UEFA European Championship (i,e, Euro 2012). The host country (through its host association and therefore its host team) qualifies automatically for the final tournament. The remaining teams are drawn into groups of five and six teams. The groups are formed by the UEFA administration by means of a draw. Teams from the national associations whose markets have made the greatest contribution to the European Qualifiers revenue are drawn into groups of six teams while respecting the seeding principles. These matches are encompassed in the European Qualifiers Match Calendar". (UEFA and Wikipedia). Its flag is a horizontal crimson background featuring the logo featuring the inscription "EUROPEAN" (on top) "QUALIFIERS" (on bottom), both in white capitals.

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 Curaçao 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.
