Following Luis Suarez's 500th goal, Puma has supplied Uruguay and Atlético de Madrid star Luis Suárez with a special-edition football boot. Luis Suarez debuted the boot in yesterday's La Liga match against Deportivo Alavés.
In addition to the special-edition boots, Luis Suarez and Puma donate 500 PUMA footballs to youth football teams based in each of the cities where Luis has played during his career. Each football was gifted with a special note from Luis to inspire the next generation of talent.
“I wanted to give back to the seven teams that have shaped me as a football player”, said Luis Suárez. “I wanted to give a boost to the youth teams in need of support and equipment to inspire them to follow their dreams. I wanted to pay tribute to the teams, players and fans who have been a part of my journey; Nacional, Groningen, Ajax, Liverpool, Barcelona, Madrid and Uruguay are all very close to my heart, so this was a special tribute to them and their communities.”
