The boycott movement against Israel (BDS) has begun a campaign against the sportswear company Puma, the official dresser of the Israeli national team.
"Puma is sponsoring the Israeli Football Association, which runs teams in illegal Israeli settlements on occupied Palestinian land," BDS explained in a campaign against the German company around Bavaria, which produces sports and leisure shoes, as well as clothing and accessories.

In recent days, there have been a number of demonstrations around the world, including outside the company's offices in Manchester, England, calling on the Puma company to end its engagement with the Israeli team, and support for the "state of the aftermath."
Also the hashtag "#BoycottPuma" became popular on social media, and a protest sign was placed on a Puma branch in London.
