Dublin, Ireland and Castellammare di Stabia, Italy, April 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera Holdings” or the “Company”) (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”) approach, has released a new video presentation highlighting its strategic partnership with Italian football club Juve Stabia srl, “The Second Team of Naples,” and currently 6th in the Italy Serie B table following last weekend’s thrilling 2–1 victory over Cesena.
The video presentation features Chris Gardner, Brera board director and the real-life inspiration behind Will Smith who starred in the film The Pursuit of Happyness, who shares a heartfelt message about the partnership and his deep personal connection to Italy.
“This is not just about football. This is about culture, about passion, and about dreams,” said Gardner. “Italy has always held a very special place in my heart — the people, the energy, the sense of purpose. I believe in Brera Holdings and what we’re building here with Juve Stabia. This is going to be something the world is going to be watching.”
Also appearing in the video is Andrea Langella, President of Juve Stabia and shareholder, who speaks about the pride of the Castellammare di Stabia community, the team’s recent success, and the future under this new international ownership.
“We are honored to partner with Brera Holdings — a company that shares our values and our vision for the future,” said Langella. “Together, we aim to elevate Juve Stabia to new heights, not just in the standings, but in global recognition.”
Daniel McClory, Executive Chairman of Brera Holdings, explains how this partnership is part of a broader strategic effort to build on professionalized management, financial transparency, and global investor access with stand-out clubs such as Juve Stabia.
“By integrating Juve Stabia into Brera Holdings’ NASDAQ-listed MCO portfolio, we are bringing financial sophistication, governance, and international visibility to one of Italy’s most passionate football markets, the 3.5 million population area of soccer-rich Naples,” said McClory. “This is about more than capital — it’s about unlocking potential through global standards and long-term vision.”
The video — titled “Una città, un club e i nostri tifosi”, produced by Juve Stabia’s in-house filmmaker Eduardo Filtro — captures the essence of the city, the club, and its devoted fans. Through intimate storytelling and powerful visuals, the film celebrates the beginning of a new era for Juve Stabia — one rooted in tradition and elevated by innovation.
This partnership represents a key step in Brera’s long-term strategy to build a diverse, global MCO platform rooted in strong local identities and backed by world-class financial infrastructure. As a NASDAQ-traded company, Brera Holdings is uniquely positioned to provide its clubs with access to capital markets, investor confidence, and professionalized reporting — a significant step forward for Juve Stabia as it aspires to reach the top tiers of Italian and European football.
