Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA), an Ireland-based international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) strategy, is celebrating the strong performance of its Italian football portfolio club, SS Juve Stabia, which reached the semifinals of the Serie A promotion playoffs after finishing fifth in Italy’s Serie B regular season (https://ibn.fm/jhXA6).
Brera agreed to acquire a controlling interest in Juve Stabia in December 2024. Its most recent step in the acquisition was completed in February 2025, giving Brera a 38.46% stake at present. The move received formal approval from the Italian Football Federation (“FIGC”), underscoring compliance with national football governance standards.
As reported by Italian publication MediaNews24, Castellammare di Stabia city officials, fans, and players gathered recently to recognize the club’s standout season. During the celebration, Mayor Luigi Vicinanza announced that the Campagna Region would allocate €5 million (approximately US$5.85 million) toward upgrades for Juve Stabia’s Romeo Menti Stadium (https://ibn.fm/jYbMP).
Brera’s Executive Chairman, Daniel McClory, attributes the uptick to operational improvements and a focused development strategy. “This extraordinary growth reflects both the untapped potential of Juve Stabia and Brera’s value-creation strategy in action,” McClory said. “Our focus on operational alignment, player development, and shareholder governance is already bearing fruit. We’re proud of the progress and even more excited for what lies ahead.”
Fan engagement has also grown. On April 5, Juve Stabia recorded its highest home attendance of the season, drawing 7,000 spectators, just short of the 7,100-seat capacity of the Romeo Menti Stadium (https://ibn.fm/PRH3P).
The club’s growing visibility was further reflected in international broadcasting of its matches, including live coverage of a recent fixture against Cremonese in the U.S., U.K., and Canada (https://ibn.fm/UJ69J).
Juve Stabia, nicknamed “Le Vespe” (The Wasps) and often referred to as the “Second Team of Naples,” has become a focal point in Brera’s strategy to build a scalable sports investment portfolio. The near-promotion to Serie A, Italy’s top-tier football league, highlights both competitive potential and commercial opportunity.
Brera’s approach emphasizes long-term value, operational governance, and community engagement. Its investment in Juve Stabia appears to be paying early dividends, not only in performance but also in raising the club’s market profile.
“Brera Holdings is proud to be a significant shareholder of Juve Stabia and congratulates Le Vespe and their supporters for an outstanding return to Serie B, and a breathtaking run into the Serie A playoffs,” said McClory. “The future is very bright for the pride of Castellammare di Stabia.”
