Dublin, Ireland, and Milan, Italy, Jan. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera,” “Brera Holdings” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: BREA), an Ireland-based, Nasdaq-listed, international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men's and women's sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) approach, is pleased to announce that its Executive Chairman, Daniel McClory, presented the Company’s comprehensive strategic vision for the development and the continued expansion of Brera’s MCO model alongside the management team of SS Juve Stabia Srl (“Juve Stabia” or the “Club”), the storied Serie B football club for which Brera has agreed to become majority owner.

Following the successful second closing of Brera Holdings' acquisition of a 34.62% stake in Juve Stabia, announced earlier this month, McClory outlined the Company’s long-term plan to enhance the Club’s operational performance, competitive positioning, and commercial success. This strategic vision leverages Brera’s unique MCO approach, which focuses on building synergies between multiple clubs in the portfolio to create an integrated, sustainable business model.

“We are excited to engage with Juve Stabia’s management to map out a clear plan for growth, both on the field and through optimized operational structures,” said McClory. “Juve Stabia’s deep-rooted history and potential for continued future success are fully aligned with our broader vision of scaling Brera’s multi-club ownership platform. By incorporating our MCO model, we aim to create a continuously financeable, sustainable and globally competitive presence in football, driving value not only for Juve Stabia but also for our stakeholders worldwide.”

McClory was also in attendance for Juve Stabia’s impressive 2-1 victory over Carrarese this past weekend, further underscoring Brera’s active involvement in the Club’s ongoing journey and its ambition to support Juve Stabia’s competitive aspirations. Currently, Juve Stabia sits fifth in the Serie B standings with 33 points, showing consistent form as they continue to build momentum for the second half of the season.

The presentation to Juve Stabia sponsors, players, press, investors and supporters highlighted Brera’s commitment to improving Club management, player development, fan engagement, and broader business operations. Key initiatives include enhancing facilities, implementing advanced data analytics, and expanding commercial opportunities through Brera’s network of clubs.

“This expanded stake in Juve Stabia solidifies our position in Italy and strengthens our platform for future growth,” McClory continued. “We look forward to supporting Juve Stabia as it continues to develop as a competitive force in Italian football.”
