The three-legged crow holding a ball represents the god of day, namely, the sun, cited from a classical book of old China. It is believed that the three-legged crow provided Emperor Jimmu and

his army with directions on his expedition to the East. The yellow and blue colors of the flag represent fair play and youth, respectively, thereby suggesting Japan Football Association's spirit of fairness backed by the vigorous power of youth.
