The sporting goods manufacturer Puma will end its cooperation with the Israeli national football team next year. The decision was made in 2022, a company spokesman said on Tuesday in Herzogenaurach. Media had previously reported about it.
“An analysis of the current portfolio of national teams based on certain success criteria such as commercial factors or participation in major international tournaments led to some changes,” the spokesman explained. Accordingly, the contracts with some associations such as Serbia or Israel expire in 2024. “This decision was already made in 2022 as part of the usual schedule for the design and manufacture of the jerseys,” it said.
