Brera Holdings PLC (“
Brera” or
the “
Company”) (
Nasdaq: BREA),
the only publicly traded multi-club ownership company focused on
football (soccer), has announced that it signed an exclusive letter
of intent to acquire an Italian Serie B club (the “LOI” and the
“Club”).
This expected strategic transaction reinforces
Brera’s commitment to transforming and democratizing professional
sports investment internationally and potentially offers the
Company and its investors additional opportunities for increasing
team-related revenue and capital appreciation from its intended
investment in the Club.
The Club’s current owners have accepted the LOI,
and Brera is proceeding with confirmatory due diligence and
preparation of the Share Purchase Agreement. This potential
acquisition aligns with Nasdaq-listed Brera’s stated intention
earlier this year to expand its portfolio of multi-club ownership
in professional sports teams.
As previously disclosed, in January 2024, Brera
launched a proactive search for a Serie B club to leverage the
benefits of multi-club ownership, enhancing competitive
opportunities and allowing investors to engage more deeply with
professional football.
Serie B is the second-highest division of the
Italian professional football league system.
“This is a defining moment for Brera,” said CEO,
Pierre Galoppi. “Acquiring an Italian Serie B club not only
elevates our portfolio but also underscores our commitment to
making pro sports team ownership accessible to a broader audience.
We believe this acquisition will open exciting new avenues for
investment and fan engagement."
“Brera is dedicated to redefining sports
ownership, and this acquisition is a key element of our strategic
vision. As Brera continues with the transaction process, we will
provide further updates.”
ABOUT BRERA
Brera (Nasdaq: BREA) is focused on expanding its
social impact football (American soccer) business by developing a
global portfolio of emerging football and other sports clubs, which
will provide increased opportunities to earn tournament prizes,
gain sponsorships, and provide other professional football and
sports-related consulting services.
The Company seeks to build on the legacy and
brand of Brera FC, the first football club acquired by the Company
in 2022. Brera FC, known as "The Third Team of Milan," is an
amateur football association building an alternative football
legacy since its founding in 2000. The Company owns the trademarked
FENIX Trophy Tournament, a nonprofessional pan-European football
competition recognized by UEFA, inaugurated in September 2021 and
organized by Brera FC. "FENIX" is an acronym for "Friendly European
Nonprofessional Innovative Xenial." BBC Sport has called the FENIX
Trophy "the Champions League for amateurs," and ESPN covered the
2024 FENIX Trophy finals. In October 2022, the Internet Marketing
Association, at its IMPACT 22 Conference, named Brera FC as its
award recipient for "Social Impact Through Soccer," recognizing the
Company's focus at an international level with this
distinction.
In March 2023, the Company expanded to Africa by
establishing Brera Tchumene FC, a team then admitted to the Second
Division League in Mozambique, a country of nearly 32 million
people. Brera Tchumene FC won its post-season tournament and, in
November 2023, was promoted to Mocambola, the First Division in
Mozambique. In April 2023, the Company acquired 90% of the European
first-division football team Fudbalski Klub Akademija Pandev, now
known as Brera Strumica FC, in North Macedonia, a country with
participation rights in two major Union of European Football
Association ("UEFA") competitions.
In June 2023, Brera acquired a strategic stake
in Manchester United PLC, a portion of which was subject to a
tender offer by Sir Jim Radcliffe and sold at a 74% realized gain.
In July 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of a majority
ownership in the Italian Serie A1 women's professional volleyball
team UYBA Volley S.s.d.a.r.l. In September 2023, the Company
assumed control of Bayanzurkh Sporting Ilch FC, a Mongolian
National Premier League team, which became Brera Ilch FC when the
football season resumed in March 2024. In January 2024, the Company
announced the launch of a proactive search for an Italian Serie B
football club target designed to bring multi-club ownership of the
highest tiers of professional sports ownership to mass investors
through the Company's Nasdaq-listed shares. In February 2024, the
Brera Holdings Advisory Board was established with MLS founder and
World Cup director Alan Rothenberg, luxury lifestyle executive
Massimo Ferragamo, sports business leaders Paul Tosetti and
Marshall Geller, and Italian football icon Giuseppe Rossi.
In June 2024, the North Macedonian women’s
football club Tiverija Strumica officially became part of the Brera
family with the establishment of a joint-stock company controlled
by Brera Holdings called Women's Football Club Tiverija Brera AD
Strumica (“Brera Tiverija”). Brera Tiverija is now a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Brera Strumica FC. Brera Holdings PLC is focused on
bottom-up value creation from undervalued sports clubs and talent,
innovation-powered business growth, and socially impactful
outcomes. See www.breraholdings.com
