Background

FILA is an Italian-founded sportswear brand that has been controlled since 2007 by Fila Holdings Corp of South Korea, which licenses the trademark to regional operators around the world. In Israel the brand has no company-owned retail chain: FILA footwear and apparel reach Israeli shoppers through multi-brand sports and fashion retailers and online stores rather than through a FILA-operated subsidiary. The one documented Israel-specific commercial commitment is the six-season kit partnership with Maccabi Tel Aviv FC (2019/20–2024/25), announced jointly by the club and the brand and ended when Puma took over for 2025/26. No donations, in-kind aid, public statements about Israel or the war, political spending or foundation grants by FILA or Fila Holdings were found, and FILA does not appear on the BDS movement's consumer-boycott target list. Claims circulating on social media about FILA's Israeli 'ownership' or licensing rest on advocacy or user-generated sources and are not documented here.

ENDED — FILA was the official kit supplier of Maccabi Tel Aviv FC, Israel's most decorated football club, for six consecutive seasons from 2019/20 through 2024/25. The club and the brand jointly launched each season's home, away and additional kits under the FILA name; the 2021/22 launch was described by the club as 'the third season in succession' of the collaboration, and a fourth kit that season was a first in the club's history. The partnership ended after 2024/25, when Puma became Maccabi Tel Aviv's kit partner from the 2025/26 season. This was a brand-level commercial sponsorship of a single Israeli club; no FILA sponsorship of the Israel Football Association or of any national team is documented.
