The FMF was founded 1927, affiliated to FIFA in 1929, and affiliated to CONCACAF (current Football Confederation) in 1961. México has organized two Football World Cups, one in 1970 (then called Jules Rimet Cup) and the last one in 1986.
The flag is displayed at the building see of the the Federación Mexicana de Fútbol (Mexican Football Federation) at calle Colima 373, Colonia Roma Norte, C.P.: 06700, Delagación Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City:. It 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 both adopted; though the emblem with slightly variations is in use since 40's.

In all club's facilities (La Noria and Acoxpa in Mexico City, Ciudad Cooperativa, Hidalgo and Laguanas, Oaxaca) all three flags are hoisted. Each in the club's colors: white, blue and red. They feature the corporative emblem consisting of a red square bearing a blue cross (the origin of the club's name) on white field. The text "Deportivo" over the square and "Cruz Azul" bellow, in blue capital letters. The achievement is surrounded by a blue ring, which in turn is charged by eight white five-pointed star on the upper hemi-circle, and the word "Mexico" (also in capital letters) on the lower one, all in white.
