with avid fan bases, excellent player talent and academy potential,
good infrastructure, and iconic Italian football legacies,” stated
Brera CEO Pierre Galoppi. “We look forward to helping them become a
model for the future of Italian football by utilizing our talent
and ongoing access to public capital via our Nasdaq listing to
build the next generation of football champions.”

ABOUT BRERA HOLDINGS PLC
Brera Holdings PLC (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 with
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 that was acquired by the Company in 2022.
Brera FC, known as "The Third Team of Milan," is an amateur
football association which has been building an alternative
football legacy since its founding in 2000. The Company owns the
trademarked FENIX Trophy Tournament, a non-professional
pan-European football competition recognized by UEFA, inaugurated
in September 2021 and organized by Brera FC. "FENIX" is an acronym
for "Friendly European Non-professional Innovative Xenial." BBC
Sport has called the FENIX Trophy "the Champions League for
amateurs." The 2024 FENIX Trophy finals were covered by ESPN. 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 with the
establishment of 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 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 team in the Mongolian National
Premier League, 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.
Brera Holdings PLC is focused on bottom-up value creation from
undervalued sports clubs and talent, innovation-powered business
growth, and socially-impactful outcomes.
