Brera Holdings PLC (Nasdaq: BREA), the only publicly-traded
multi-club ownership football (American soccer) focused company,
today announced that the Fourth Annual FENIX Trophy tournament, an
international sporting event owned by the Company and organized by
its Brera FC Milan-based football club, kicked off in Poland on
September 21.
The tournament, which features European
non-professional clubs, each paired with a charity partner
recognized for its social, historical, and cultural contributions,
opened with a match between Polish team KP Bòr and their Serbian
guests, FK Miljakovac, at the Miejski Stadium in the town of
Oborniki Slaskie. The match, which was won by FK Miljakovac by a
score of 1-2, was followed by a post-game reception embodying the
spirit of camaraderie inherent to the event.
This edition of the FENIX Trophy marks an
expansion featuring 16 teams, up from 12 last year, and also
features a round-trip knockout format in which the clubs face each
other with two-legged home and away ties, over two rounds. This
stage will run from September until December (1st round) and from
January until April (2nd round).
“The tournament champions values such as
hospitality, mutual respect, and friendship, creating an atmosphere
that resonates well beyond the final whistle,” said Brera chief
executive Pierre Galoppi. “We hope fans will join us in celebrating
the unifying power of sport, community, and this beautiful sport at
the FENIX Trophy.”
Mr. Galoppi added that although the tournament’s
finances are currently individually managed by its constituent
teams, Brera Holdings may, in the future, strike commercial deals
to manage all of the tournament’s finances. Tournament revenue, he
said, includes revenue from ticket sales, advertising promotions,
and team-related merchandise.
The tournament will continue in 16 different
cities in 14 countries around Europe. To access the tournament
schedule, please go to www.fenixtrophy.eu. To purchase tickets to
tournament matches, please visit the websites of the tournament
teams, or visit the box office at the tournament venues.

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, 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
