Does Under Armour, Inc. support Israel?
Yes — Under Armour, Inc. has documented support for Israel on record. Every claim below links to its source.
Filed under: Fashion & apparel brands · Companies that support Israel
Background
No Under Armour corporate donations, statements, or sponsorships supporting Israel were found, including after October 2023; the company has stayed publicly silent on the conflict and appears in fashion-press roundups of neither Israel-relief nor Gaza-relief corporate donors. Its documented Israel ties are commercial: the brand has been sold there since the early 2010s through local importers (Get Pro/Grundman & Co., and from 2023 MGS Group's Mega Sport), whose stores are franchisee-owned. Viral boycott lists and directories that include Under Armour rest mainly on supply-chain claims — that it sources from Israeli manufacturers such as Delta Galil (which advocacy researchers link to West Bank settlement production) and Tefron — while other boycott-checking sites state there is no verified evidence that Under Armour supports Israel. No established fact-checker has documented any Under Armour donation to Israel; the company has no US political action committee, and its Under Armour Foundation's disclosed grants go to Baltimore-area youth and education organizations.

| Operations in Israel | 2023-09 | — | Under Armour brand stores in Israel (importer/franchisee-operated) Under Armour's Israeli business has always run through local importers, not company-owned operations. Get Pro was the exclusive Israeli importer, with its Grundman & Co. arm operating Under Armour brand stores — two Tel Aviv concept stores by mid-2017 and an announced plan for 15 stores by 2020 at an investment of about NIS 30 million; by 2022 Grundman operated eight Under Armour stores plus wholesale distribution. In July 2022 Gideon Moliov's MGS Group (owner of the Mega Sport chain) entered advanced negotiations to buy the activity, and per a September 2023 Calcalist report Moliov acquired the Under Armour Israel franchise. The stores are owned by the Israeli franchisee, not by Under Armour, Inc. |
