Public markets have started to embrace sports franchises and related companies in a way rarely seen before. While historically only a handful of clubs and sports organizations went public, the trend has gained momentum, with sports-related stocks across multiple categories delivering strong gains in recent years, according to a Profluence analysis (https://ibn.fm/5IU6R).
Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA), an Ireland-based international holding company, has built its strategy around multi-club ownership (“MCO”), a model that is increasingly attracting capital. The company is expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s football clubs, offering investors a direct way to participate in the growth of the sports sector.
Brera’s latest expansion came with its completed acquisition of SS Juve Stabia on June 20, 2025. The Serie B club, often referred to as “The Other Team of Naples,” enjoyed a successful 2024–25 season. After securing promotion from Serie C, the team advanced to the semifinals of the Serie A promotion playoffs. Its player roster and squad valuation grew significantly, with Transfermarkt and Social Media Soccer data estimating a 245% increase to $32 million.
This performance underscored the financial upside potential in Brera’s approach. By targeting emerging clubs and driving value through performance, sponsorships, and fan engagement, Brera demonstrates how sports investments can generate measurable returns beyond traditional broadcasting or ticket revenues.
With the Juve Stabia acquisition, Brera became the second MCO operator in Italy’s Serie B. The only other multi-club entity in the league is City Football Group, the Abu Dhabi-backed owner of Manchester City and Palermo FC. This positioning places Brera among a small group of firms leveraging the MCO model at scale in European football.
The company’s portfolio now stretches across multiple geographies. Following the acquisition of Brera FC in Milan in 2022, it has expanded into Africa with Brera Tchumene FC in Mozambique, into Eastern Europe with Brera Strumica FC in North Macedonia, into Asia with Brera Ilch FC in Mongolia, and into women’s football with Brera Tiverija FC. Each move has aligned with its strategy of acquiring undervalued clubs with potential for rapid development.
The broader sports investing market has become increasingly diverse. Publicly traded entities now range from traditional franchises like Madison Square Garden Sports and Liberty Media’s Formula 1 to hybrid assets such as TKO Group, the parent of UFC and WWE. Investor appetite is driven not just by team performance but by the ancillary revenue streams tied to media, real estate, and sponsorship.
Brera’s focus on emerging clubs offers a different angle. Rather than competing for marquee assets, it applies a bottom-up approach, seeking to unlock value where mainstream capital is not yet concentrated. This resembles how private equity has entered the sports space, deploying capital into teams and leagues that were previously off-limits.
A notable aspect of sports investing is the overlap between fan engagement and shareholder interest. Supporters of clubs have shown increasing willingness to invest in teams, whether through formal share offerings or indirect investments. Brera’s strategy aligns with this dynamic, as its growth across markets builds new communities of fans who may eventually also become investors.
This blending of emotional and financial equity is one of the reasons analysts expect more sports assets to test public markets in the future. The Brera model, with its diversified footprint and accessible entry point for investors, reflects this evolution.
While the number of publicly traded sports franchises remains small compared with the size of the industry, the pipeline is expected to expand. For investors, companies like Brera Holdings provide a rare listed option to gain exposure to the growth of professional football clubs and the wider sports ecosystem.
By combining geographic expansion, value-driven acquisitions, and socially impactful initiatives such as the UEFA-recognized FENIX Trophy, Brera is carving out a place in a market where both capital and fan interest are on the rise.
