Berlin: Puma has filed a lawsuit against Fifa over the ruling body’s ban of a controversial one-piece kit worn by Cameroon during this year’s African Nations Cup.

Puma filed a suit at a German court asking for over $2.41 million in damages, a spokesman for the German sports goods manufacturer said on Wednesday.

Fifa, world soccer’s governing body, banned the suit manufactured by Puma and then imposed a six-point sanction on Cameroon’s 2006 World Cup qualifying campaign because the team continued to wear it at the Nations Cup.
