The flag of Scotland, called the Saltire or St Andrew's Cross, dates to the 9th century, and is the oldest national flag still in use.
|
|
|
|
|
With a quick search on google, I believe the oldest national flag is the Danish National Flag

According to the french version of Wikipedia[^], football at the olymic games before London 1908 was just a succession of exhibition games between national teams and local clubs. For instance, In 1904, the US got the silver and the bronze medals!
In 1908 was organized the first 'real' tournament as we know it now. Belgium was the first team outside England to win this tournament at the games of Antwerp in 1920
