Football 7-a-side is an adaptation of association football for athletes with
cerebral palsy and other neurological disorders, including stroke and traumatic
brain injury. The sport is governed by the
Cerebral Palsy International Sports and Recreation Association (CPISRA). The
sport is played with modified FIFA rules.
International competition in Football 7-a-side began at the 1978 CPISRA
International Games in Edinburgh, Scotland. The sport was added to the Summer
Paralympic Games at the 1984 Summer Paralympics in New York, U.S., and has been
played at every Summer Games since.

The protocol manual for the London 2012 Olympics
(Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012 [loc12])
provides recommendations for flag designs. Each
international federation and international
paralympics federation was sent an image of the flag, including the PMS
shades, for their approval by LOCOG. Once this was obtained, LOCOG produced a 60
x 90 cm version of the flag for further approval. So, while these specs may not
be the official version of each flag, they are certainly what the
international federation and
international paralympics federation believed the flag to be.

Last year Ian Sumner made some scans from the flag manual for the London
2012 Olympics (Flags and Anthems Manual London 2012) which provides
recommendations for flag designs of international sporting federations.
For CPISRA - 7-a-side football: PMS 485 red, PMS 285 blue, PMS 285 grey 40%, and
PMS 285 grey 20%.
