@Primefac: I just checked and they also used the new flag for the 2010 Asian Beach Games, Source. it will be great if you add this too

		["Asian Beach Games"] = {
			[2010] = "Flag of Myanmar.svg",

Thanks. Sports2021 (talk) 13:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Out of curiosity, was there anything in 2010 where they used the older flag? If not, I can just drop the date from 2010 to 2009 and avoid all these exceptions. Primefac (talk) 13:08, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That flag change happened in October (which is late) but as far as I know they only participated at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics before the flag change. They used the new flag for the Asian Games, Asian Para Games and Asian Beach Games. so I think it's better to change it to 2009 and make the Youth Olympics as exception.

Okay, I've rearranged to make the Youth Olympics the exception. Primefac (talk) 16:47, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Afghanistan

Hi, This template is using the Taliban flag for Afghanistan after 2021 but all sport organizations are still using the old flag. for example that flag was used at the 2023 Asian Games and also 2024 Olympics. nobody recognizes Taliban yet. so I suggest this

		{2021, "Flag of Afghanistan (2004–2021).svg"},
		"Flag of Afghanistan.svg",

with this

		"Flag of Afghanistan (2004–2021).svg",

or simply change the number of 2021 to 2024 (and later 2025 and so on) until the international sport organizations recognize the Taliban flag. Sports2021 (talk) 23:41, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed Flag of Afghanistan was redirected to Flag of Afghanistan (2004–2021) until yesterday, now it's redirected to flag of Tablian. I think we should fix the template the way I explained in case someone else redirect that flag again. Sports2021 (talk) 23:51, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Syria

Looks like people are uploading the new revolution flag as "Flag of Syria" it's not officially changed yet but it will soon. so I think it's OK to fix it here too. this should be changed

		name = "Syria",
		{1958, "Flag of Syria (1930–1958, 1961–1963).svg"},
		{1961, "Flag of the United Arab Republic (1958–1971).svg"},
		{1963, "Flag of Syria (1930–1958, 1961–1963).svg"},
		{1971, "Flag of Syria (1963–1972).svg"},
		{1979, "Flag of Syria (1972–1980).svg"},
		"Flag of Syria.svg",

to this

		name = "Syria",
		{1958, "Flag of Syria (1930–1958, 1961–1963).svg"},
		{1961, "Flag of the United Arab Republic (1958–1971).svg"},
		{1963, "Flag of Syria (1930–1958, 1961–1963).svg"},
		{1971, "Flag of Syria (1963–1972).svg"},
		{1979, "Flag of Syria (1972–1980).svg"},
		{2024, "Flag of the United Arab Republic (1958–1971), Flag of Syria (1980–2024).svg"},
		"Flag of Syria.svg",
