All out on Saturday 31st January at 1pm on Market Street (outside Tesco) in Manchester City Centre! Join the rally and stalls calling upon Reebok to Stop Sponsoring Genocidal Israel – Boycott Reebok!
In 2025, Reebok signed a sponsorship agreement with the Israeli Football Association (IFA), callously associating itself with colonial apartheid and genocide.
Football matches are played in illegal Israeli settlements under the supervision of the IFA, with at least six settlement clubs playing in Israeli leagues.
Reebok is endorsing the IFA at the same time as the most vicious expansion of the Zionist settler-colonial project in the West Bank in decades.
At least 13 rural Palestinian communities there have been completely wiped-off the map in the last year alone. The entirety of the Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nur Shams camps have been forcibly displaced, as part of the Zionist objectives of liquidating the cause of the steadfast Palestinian refugees, and eliminating resistance to its insatiable lust for Palestinian land.
State-sponsored settler terrorism violently intimidates the Palestinian shepherd from tending to their flocks, and farmers to their harvests. Whole towns and villages are sealed off. Hundreds of new checkpoints permeate the landscape, suffocating even the most mundane expressions of life.
Al-Khalil (Hebron) was assaulted by occupation forces this very week, adding to the bottomless list of invasions and incursions that aim to eradicate even the spirit to live.
Reebok says that it “believes that fitness is for everybody”. Yet it binds itself to a regime that that is imposing demolition orders on the Aida refugee camp’s only football pitch, depriving more than 250 children of one of their most cherished possessions. A regime that systematically targets all expressions of Palestinian national identity, including Palestinian sport – murdering over 900 athletes, and destroying almost 300 sport facilities in its genocide in Gaza.
To kill, conquer, and colonise – that is what Reebok truly endorses. We cannot allow ourselves to be ignorant to injustice. The need to oppose it has never been greater.
So join us: 1pm @ Market Street, Manchester (outside Tesco) on Saturday 31st January!
