Presentation
The Portuguese Football Federation is, as its name implies, the entity
that has the responsability to arganize portuguese football and represent
it abroad through the national selection. This, despite the fact that who
organizes the professional competitions (the two top divisions) is the
League of Professional Football, in cooperation with the Portuguese Football
Federation.

About the flag
The Portuguese Football Federation flies a white flag with its symbol
centered. I suppose this symbol is already fairly known these days: a
Cross of Christ with a shield based on the
portuguese lesser coat of arms superimposed.
This fancy shield has a red bordure without the castles but with the
inicials "FPF" in the upper part, in gold. The inner shield is white and
contains the five “quinas” just
like the national arms. All the red elements are
contained within golden fimbriations.
