Puma’s decision comes at the height of a global movement for Palestine and a call to boycott companies that sponsor Israeli apartheid

After years of pressure from the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, which has intensified in recent months, the German company Puma announced on December 12 that it will drop its sponsorship of the Israel Football Association.

    Puma itself claimed that the decision to end its sponsorship was taken a year ago, and had nothing to do with the global movement for Palestine. The Israeli Football Association rejected what BDS claimed, stating that it was a “pathetic attempt…to mislead” and that it rejected the option to extend its contract with Puma back in September.
