Royal Spanish Football Federation

Flag of the Royal Spanish Football Federation - Image by Luis-Miguel Arias, 14 November 2001

The Royal Spanish Football Federation, constituted on 29 September 1913, is a member of both FIFA and UEFA.
The flag of the Federation is white with a diagonal stripe in the colours of the Spanish flag and the Federation's emblem in the centre. I do not know the adoption date, but I believe it dates from the early 1990s. I do not know either who was its designer but I are convinced that the emblem was inspired by Joan Miró's (d. 1983) official poster for the Spanish World Cup 1982 (image).
