Rio Ave Futebol Clube; this club from Vila
do Conde is currently in top division of our football, though never had
access to the european competitions. The flag consists of 6 green and white
horizontal stripes with the club’s symbol centered. The symbol consists of
a brown old-fashioned foot ball where is written "RAFC",
the club’s initials (below, hardly visible), over which is superimposed the
coat of arms of Vila do Conde without scroll, but with mural crown: a black
shield with a brown sailing boat with yellow sails navigating on green-white
wavy stripes representing the sea. (This coat of arms is slightly outdated,
since Vila do Conde was promoted to city status not many years ago and
therefore the current arms have 5 towers in the mural crown.)
Jorge Candeias, 03 Mar 1999
