Brera Holdings Finalizes Controlling Stake Acquisition in Storied Juve Stabia, Expanding Italian Football Portfolio

Dublin, Ireland – June 23, 2025 – Brera Holdings PLC (Nasdaq: BREA), the international holding company pursuing an ambitious multi-club ownership strategy across global sports markets, has finalized its acquisition of a 52% controlling stake in SS Juve Stabia srl, the historic Italian Serie B football club based in Naples. The transaction, which closed on June 20, 2025, represents a landmark milestone in Brera Holdings’ strategy to build a diversified portfolio of emerging sports franchises with significant growth potential.

Strategic Acquisition Marks Expansion of Multi-Club Model

Brera Holdings acquired the controlling position from XX Settembre srl, the investment vehicle of Juve Stabia Club President Andrea Langella. The move underscores Brera Holdings’ commitment to identifying undervalued yet competitively positioned clubs capable of generating substantial returns through operational improvements and talent development initiatives.

Juve Stabia, colloquially known as “The Second Team of Naples,” finished fifth in the 2024-25 Serie B season standings and narrowly missed qualification to the Serie A promotion playoff final—just one match away from advancing to Italy’s top-flight competition. This competitive standing positions the club as an attractive platform for Brera Holdings to execute its value creation playbook.

Investment Rationale and Long-Term Vision

“With this acquisition finalized, we now hold a meaningful controlling position in one of Italy’s most historically significant clubs,” said Daniel McClory, Founder and Executive Chairman of Brera Holdings. “Our partnership with President Langella and the existing management team positions us to unlock substantial player development opportunities while leveraging the club’s strong competitive foundation in Serie B. We believe Juve Stabia represents a compelling near-term investment opportunity and a cornerstone asset for our Italian market expansion.”

The Brera Holdings team plans to prioritize player pathway optimization, commercial revenue diversification, and operational enhancements that have proven successful across the company’s existing portfolio. These initiatives are designed to support Juve Stabia’s pursuit of Serie A promotion while strengthening the club’s financial sustainability.

Brera Holdings’ Growing Global Sports Portfolio

The Juve Stabia acquisition exemplifies Brera Holdings’ broader strategy of acquiring majority or significant minority stakes in football and sports clubs across multiple continents. The company’s existing portfolio includes Brera FC (Milan), established in 2000 and known as “The Third Team of Milan”; Brera Tchumene FC (Mozambique), which achieved first-division status within months of its 2023 establishment; Brera Strumica FC (North Macedonia), acquired in April 2023; and Brera Ilch FC (Mongolia), assumed in September 2023.

Additionally, Brera Holdings maintains a strategic investment position in Manchester United PLC, which generated a 74% return, and established Brera Tiverija FC, a women’s football club in North Macedonia, in June 2024. The company organizes the FENIX Trophy, a pan-European amateur tournament recognized by UEFA and described by BBC Sport as “the Champions League for Amateurs.”

Transaction Support and Forward Guidance

Zephiro Investments, in partnership with Joseph Grosso, provided strategic M&A advisory services throughout the closing process. Legal representation included Barone & Associati (Italian counsel to the Club), BonelliErede (Italian counsel to Brera Holdings), Boustead Securities (financial advisor to Brera Holdings), and Bevilacqua PLLC (U.S. securities counsel).

The company anticipates that Juve Stabia will deliver meaningful contributions to Brera Holdings’ financial performance and strategic objectives beginning in 2025 and beyond, supported by ongoing operational integration and capital allocation initiatives.
