 FENIX Trophy’s 2023-2024 tournament, twelve clubs participated from across Europe, with the final four matches taking place in Desenzano del Garda, Italy in May 2024. For the FENIX Trophy’s 2024-2025 tournament, there are sixteen clubs participating from across Europe, with the final four matches taking place in Lake Iseo, Italy on May 10, 2025, and May 11, 2025.

We believe the FENIX Trophy combines the best features of great international football with the spirit of non-professional football. Key matches from across Europe streamed live on the FENIX Trophy TV YouTube Channel are accompanied by values such as hospitality and sharing between the clubs. The clubs don’t just meet during the game; they share fun and inspirational moments before and after, promoting cultural exchange and creating a friendly environment for clubs, players and supporters. Brera’s continuing objective is to make the FENIX Trophy an extraordinary social impact football experience with a concrete economic value for the major companies seeking to invest in ESG through sport.

We also believe that social awareness and impact has become a growing public focus due to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. As such, while the “transfer market,” in which teams can transfer players and managers in exchange for significant compensation both to the transferring teams and the transferred individuals, is expected to continue, we believe that it must ultimately be part of a vision of football that includes a bottom-up nurturing of players, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds or communities, such as those historically and currently competing for Brera FC. In October 2022, the Internet Marketing Association at its IMPACT 22 Conference named Brera FC as its award recipient for “Social Impact Through Soccer,” recognizing the Company’s focus at an international level with this distinction. We intend to be a leader in guiding the industry toward a more inclusive approach to professional football, through the use of unconventional routes and undiscovered markets with the aim to unleash their full potential.

To that end, we are developing our “Global Sports Group” portfolio of professional football and other sports clubs. Our Global Sports Group will be modeled on the collaborative, brand-aligned holding company structure of Manchester, England-based City Football Group Limited. Under our Global Sports Group structure, we have acquired or intend to acquire top-division football and other sports teams in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and potentially other emerging markets, and give them access to the global transfer market.

The Company is focused on bottom-up
