Puma investigating shirt malfunctions

20/06/2016
Sportswear manufacturer Puma has launched an investigation after four of its shirts ripped during a match at the European Championship football tournament France. Three players representing Switzerland, for whom Puma supplies the kit, were forced to change their shirts during the match against France.

"Seeing our shirts being ripped in a match was the first time we have experienced such an issue," Puma said.

"Five Puma teams have played 10 games in this tournament without such problems. Our product people are currently investigating the shirt material," it added.

Adidas have also launched an investigation after one of its Beau Jeu footballs burst during the same game following contact with the studs of a French player.

The German manufacturer said in a statement that it was looking into the incident, which it described as “extremely rare”.
