FIFA and sport-lifestyle company PUMA wish to declare that in the interests of international football, they have reached an out-of-court settlement in their legal dispute over Cameroon's innovative one-piece playing kit.
The two parties have agreed not to disclose the details of this settlement.
With 207 associations affiliated to FIFA today, world football's governing body has rightly been dubbed the "United Nations of Football". Between 1975 and 2002 alone, more than 60 associations were accepted as members.
FIFA supports the associations financially and logistically through various programmes and grants them a number of attractive rights and privileges. But they also have obligations. As representatives of FIFA in their countries, they must respect the statutes, aims and ideals of football's governing body and promote and manage our sport accordingly.
PUMA offers shoes and apparel. PUMA is not a business that manufactures and sells soap powder or ballpoint pens or instant coffee. It is a business rooted in the passionate world of sporting endeavour.
The history of the brand resonates with the echoes of great athletes and legendary performances, celebrated in stadiums across the globe. PUMA makes products designed to facilitate the individual achievements that evoke the most passionate responses.
