Brera Holdings PLC is an Irish holding company focused on expanding social impact football by developing a global portfolio of emerging football clubs with increased opportunities to earn tournament prizes, gain sponsorships, and provide other professional football and related consulting services. We seek to build on the legacy and brand of Brera FC, the first football club that we acquired in July 2022. Brera FC is an amateur football association which has been building an alternative football legacy since its founding in 2000. We are focused on bottom-up value creation from sports clubs and talent outside mainstream markets, innovation-powered business growth, and socially-impactful outcomes. Football is one of the most popular spectator sports on Earth, with a global market valued at $1.8 billion in 2019, projected to reach $3.8 billion by 2027, with Europe currently being the largest market (“Global football market by type, manufacturing process and distribution channel: global opportunity analysis and industry forecast, 2021–2027,” May 2021). We believe that the leaders in the football industry, as with all enterprises, must demonstrate an awareness of social issues. We believe that teams that do not demonstrate such awareness will not succeed, and that the European football industry is signaling a need for socially-impactful ways to expand access to capital and revenues. With this in mind, we organized, promoted and participated in the FENIX Trophy, our newly formed non-professional pan-European football tournament recognized by UEFA. As noted above, FENIX is an acronym for “Friendly European Non-professional Innovative Xenial”. The FENIX Trophy was intended to allow Brera FC to connect with the local community, increase our fanbase, and develop important relationships with other European football clubs. We believe that discussions about the FENIX Trophy spread awareness of these tenets of social impact football. We also believe that the competition’s meaning goes beyond the game itself. It is an immersive experience meant to highlight the best practices within non-professional football: sportsmanship, bonds with the local community, sustainability, use of technology, and friendship among clubs. We therefore believe the FENIX Trophy will significantly support our social-impact football value proposition. The FENIX Trophy was inaugurated in 2021 and had its first tournament from September 2021 to June 2022. We believe that the initial competition met or exceeded our expectations of its value for our social-impact football brand. The tournament was a public relations success – the Final Eight of the FENIX Trophy tournament, which took place in Rimini, Italy in June 2022, enjoyed extensive national (SKY Sports TV) and international (ZDF) media coverage. We intend to capitalize on this success and include even more amateur clubs in the FENIX Trophy’s 2022-2023 tournament. We also expect that social awareness and impact will become a growing public focus as the 2022 FIFA World Cup approaches. As such, while the “transfer market,” in which teams can transfer players and managers in exchange for significant compensation both to the transferring teams and the transferred individuals, is expected to continue, we believe that it must ultimately be part of a vision of football that includes a bottom-up nurturing of players, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds or communities, such as those historically and currently competing for Brera FC. We intend to be a leader in guiding the industry toward a more inclusive approach to professional football, through the use of unconventional routes and undiscovered markets with the aim to unleash their full potential. To that end, we are developing our “Global Football Group” portfolio of professional football clubs. Our Global Football Group will be modeled on the collaborative, brand-aligned holding company structure of Manchester, England-based City Football Group Limited. Under our Global Football Group structure, we intend to acquire top-division football teams in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and potentially other emerging markets, and give them access to the global transfer market. We likewise expect that acquisitions of Eastern European and other non-mainstream market teams will enable us to compete and potentially win significant revenue in UEFA and potentially other regional competitions. We believe that Brera FC’s brand of social impact football and our Global Football Group portfolio of local football club favorites will also allow us to gain increasing sponsorship revenue. We intend to expand on our noncompetitive children’s football school offerings, which we expect will generate significant revenue as well as enhance our social impact football brand and related value. Based on these and other innovative initiatives, we expect that our experience with innovative capital-raising and revenue-generating activities will draw further revenue in the form of consulting opportunities from football clubs, associations, investors and others.
