Brera Holdings PLC (NASDAQ: BREA), an Ireland-based, international holding company dedicated to expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) approach, announced on Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2024, the signing of an SPA as the foundation for acquiring a majority required ownership interest in SS Juve Stabia srl, an Italian Serie B football club, which will be conducted in a three-step process. This follows an earlier-announced binding term sheet on Dec. 9, 2024, which marked a significant expansion of the company’s MCO model (https://ibn.fm/7DWtZ).
“With Serie B’s expanding commercial prospects, Juve Stabia offers a compelling opportunity for growth,” noted Daniel McClory, Brera Holdings’ Executive Chairman. “We are excited to partner with local management and invest in this historic team to capitalize on player trading opportunities, potentially secure a position in the Serie B playoffs, and ultimately pursue promotion to Serie A over the next several seasons, all of which could augment Club revenue and unlock further value for our investors,” he added (https://ibn.fm/7DWtZ).
Juve Stabia has a rich history, particularly given its reputation as “The Second Team of Naples.” Its heritage spans 117 years, and the Club continues to showcase its competitive strength, currently ranked in fifth place in the Serie B table with 29 points. The top six teams in Serie B at the end of the regular season in early May 2025 qualify for the playoffs and potential promotion to Serie A.
The first of the three steps in Brera’s acquisition transaction, which closed on Dec. 31, 2024, involves cash payments and issuances of Brera’s shares, allowing for continuity in Club management. Once the three-step process is concluded over the coming months, Brera Holdings will increase its current 22% equity stake to 38%, and eventually ~52% ownership of the Club, making it the majority shareholder (https://ibn.fm/7DWtZ).
There are also SPA provisions for milestone-based compensation to Mr. Andrea Langella, the current majority owner of the Club. The compensation will be tied to qualification for the Serie B promotion playoffs, and promotion to Serie A. For Brera Holdings, these incentives align with its interests in Juve Stabia’s competitive success, encouraging and reinforcing a focus on sporting excellence.
The last of the three steps, as already agreed in the executed SPA, will cover the transaction’s final closing and Brera’s majority control. This is set to close on March 31, 2025, and enable further integration of Juve Stabia into its multi-club framework.
For Brera Holdings, this move underscores its commitment to scaling its MCO model. So far, it has football and volleyball teams across Europe, Asia and Africa. Its acquisition of Juve Stabia speaks to the company’s ambitions to become a leading player in the sports-as-an-asset-class investment space, along with its commitment to enhancing revenue growth and creating long-term value for its shareholders.
