Global sportswear manufacturer Puma is involved in violations of international law and human rights. Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

Israel’s military occupation expels Palestinian families, including children, from their homes to give way for these settlements. Israeli settlements are considered war crimes under international law.

More than 200 Palestinian sports clubs have called on Puma to end the sponsorship deal and stop supporting Israel’s illegal land grabs.

Puma markets itself as a company that cares about equality yet it funds the apartheid the IFA helps sustain.

In July 2018 it was announced that Adidas was no longer sponsoring the IFA following an international campaign and the delivery of over 16,000 signatures to Adidas headquarters.

We can do this again. Join Palestinian athletes calling for a boycott of Puma until it ends its support for Israel’s illegal land grabs.

Israeli Apartheid is Not a Game

Millions of Palestinians live under Israel’s brutal and illegal military occupation. They have the same rights as everyone to an existence free from ongoing colonisation, discrimination and persecution, and free from an entrenched system of apartheid.

The Boycott Divestment and Sanctions campaign asks that we boycott companies profiting from Israel’s dispossession and persecution of Palestinians. One such company is global sportswear manufacturer Puma. Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements which are on stolen Palestinian land.

Puma’s sponsorship of the IFA makes it directly complicit with Israel’s breaches of international law and human rights resolutions. In Australia, Puma is a major sponsor of:

Queensland Maroons
NSW Blues
Athletics Australia
Melbourne City FC
Carlton Footbal Club
Richmond Football Club
The Melbourne Vixens

More than 200 Palestinian sports clubs have called on Puma to stop supporting Israel’s illegal settlements. We all can make a difference by not buying Puma until it stops supporting Israel’s land theft and apartheid.

And we can call on Australian sporting clubs to do the same.

To the CEOs of Athletics Australia, Carlton Football Club, Melbourne City FC, Richmond Football Club, Queensland Maroons, Melbourne Vixens and NSW Blues,

Millions of Palestinians live under Israel’s brutal and illegal military occupation. They have the same rights as everyone to a normal existence, free of ongoing colonisation, discrimination and persecution including an entrenched system of apartheid.

Palestinians cannot participate in sports activities freely as their ability to travel throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territories is severely limited by the Israeli occupation. Their lands are being colonised by the illegal imposition of Israeli settlements which now host some 700,000 Israeli settlers who carry arms and terrorise and destroy Palestinian property and agriculture.

The United Nations Fact Finding Mission (FFM) on Israeli Settlements in March 2012, found “a multitude of the human rights of the Palestinians are violated in various forms and ways due to the existence of the settlements” and that “Israel is committing serious breaches of its obligations under the right to self-determination and under humanitarian law.”

The chair of the FFM, Ms. Christine Chanet stated that, “In compliance with Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israel must cease all settlement activities without preconditions.”

Puma is the main sponsor of the Israel Football Association (IFA), which includes teams in Israel’s illegal settlements which are on stolen Palestinian land.

Puma’s sponsorship of the IFA makes it directly complicit with Israel’s grave breaches of international law, war crimes and human rights resolutions. More than 200 Palestinian sports clubs have called on Puma to stop supporting Israel’s illegal settlements.

We call on you to take action to end your club’s association with Puma until such time as Puma no long supports Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.
