Affiliate Team Linked to Zionist Regime Renames Under Pressure from Palestinian Supporters
the cycling team Israel premier Tech, which has faced protests from Palestinian supporters during this season’s road races, announced in a statement that it will change its name to NSN (Never Say Never), according to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Agence France-Presse.
The statement added that the NSN brand will be registered in Switzerland. This week, the team is holding a training camp and will continue its race schedule under the new brand in the coming weeks, starting with events in Barcelona and Girona, Spain.
previously, Canadian company Premier Tech severed financial ties with this cycling team affiliated with the Israeli regime and publicly distanced itself from it.
Premier Tech cited widespread protests against Israel Premier Tech’s participation amid the gaza war as the reason for ending its sponsorship of the team.
In recent months, protesters targeting what they call genocide by the Israeli regime in Gaza have confronted Israel Premier Tech at several major international races.The Vuelta a España stages in August and September were disrupted by demonstrations and flag displays by pro-Palestinian activists.
Protests against this team also took place sporadically during two other prominent tours held in Italy and France.
After Spain’s tour concluded, Premier Tech demanded that “Israel” be removed from the team’s identity and brand. Although the team agreed to distance itself from an Israeli affiliation, this was insufficient to ease tensions.On Friday, Premier Tech announced it would fully withdraw all financial support for the squad.
The company’s statement reads: “After several discussions with the team and careful consideration of all circumstances, Premier Tech has decided effective immediately to end its role as supporter of Team Israel.”
