==Description==
The unofficial flag of Wallis and Futuna features a red [[saltire]] on a white square, which in turn is placed on a red field (alternatively, a larger white [[cross pattée]] is used). The cross is shifted a little off centre toward the [[fly (flag)|fly]] (outer edge). The cross pattée is also shifted slightly downwards. The flag of France, outlined in white on two sides, is in the upper hoist quadrant. This flag is used to represent Wallis and Futuna at events such as the [[Pacific Games]].<ref>{{cite tweet |user=NMPMG2022 |author=Northern Marianas Pacific Mini Games 2022 |number=1513275689948090372 |title=Time for the next #NMPMG2022CountrySpotlight Here are some fun facts about the Territory of the Wallis and Futuna Islands! |date=10 April 2022}} {{better source needed|date=July 2022}}</ref> For official occasions, the French flag is used.
