Its flag is white with orange map of Africa superimposed with Olympic rings. French and English abbreviations are placed over and under the map.

There the design is slightly different: The continent is only slightly darker yellow than the yellow of the Olympic Rings, the rings fit inside the borders of the continent (It may be the particular projection used for the continent makes it wider than on the new flag.), the letters are in arcs, and the French abbreviation is at the bottom.

Previous Flag

It seems ANOCA had a previous flag, it was light blue with its emblem, but a different font type was used for abbreviations.
