Recent developments and news
On June 20, 2025, Brera acquired a 52% majority stake in Italian Serie B club SS Juve Stabia, completing the €10 million transaction through a combination of cash, stock, and incentives. The club’s valuation increased to $32.3 million, following a fifth-place finish and advancement to the semifinals in the promotion playoffs during the 2024-25 season.
Following a notification of non-compliance in July 2024, Brera regained compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) on July 11, 2025, by maintaining a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for ten consecutive business days. On September 3, 2025, CEO and CFO Pietro Bersani resigned and was replaced by Dr. Fabio Scacciavillani, who will receive an annual salary of $400,000 and 30,000 restricted shares vesting over three years. Independent director Abhishek Mathews was appointed to the board and audit committee on the same date. An extraordinary general meeting convened online on September 16, 2025, to discuss governance and strategic proposals.
Financial and strategic analysis
Brera’s revenue model includes media rights distributions, tournament prize money (including FENIX Trophy events during October–November 2024), sponsorship contracts, and player transfer fees. The acquisition-and-turnaround strategy focuses on undervalued clubs with growth potential, such as Brera Tchumene FC in Mozambique (acquired in May 2023) and Brera Ilch FC in Mongolia (acquired in October 2023). Centralized oversight aims to create operational synergies in scouting, commercial partnerships, and youth academies, while insider shareholding links management incentives with external investors.
Market position and industry context
Brera's portfolio consists of six sporting assets located in Italy, North Macedonia, Mozambique, Mongolia, and women's volleyball in Italy, establishing its presence in the multi-club ownership (MCO) sector. Industry estimates place global sports franchise valuations at $417 billion, with an expected annual growth rate of 8% through 2030. Approximately 200 clubs globally are now part of MCO structures, indicating increasing institutional interest in sports teams as asset classes. As the sole Nasdaq-listed MCO, Brera provides retail and institutional investors access to this growing market.
