világzászló


Explanation:
This version seems more straightforward and grammatically correct.

It is formed as Európa-zászló, which is used in Hungarian, eg

Minden téren, nem csupán a sportban, mert a közös cél közösen ott lenni az Európa-zászló alatt.

Európa-zászló is a somewhat stronger construction than Európa zászlója (zászlaja).

világzászló a bit like világbajnok, (világbéke, világhír, etc)
