We further believe that the European football industry is also signaling a need for socially-impactful ways to generate much-needed capital and revenues. We believe that our founders’ experience in accessing the public capital markets can also be applied to football club operators, and gaining sponsors, fans and followers. We plan on offering initiatives such as noncompetitive football schools and occupational-training courses to enable prison inmates to become referees, will be recognized as part of a credible, revenue-generative basis for social-impact football consulting services for under-capitalized clubs. In addition, each acquisition or operation will be conducted with respect for local partners, traditions and cultures while promoting our social impact mission. For example, we plan to develop a women’s football section in every country we acquire a club in, to increase awareness and social impact.

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.

We intend to be a leader in guiding the industry toward a more inclusive approach to professional football and other professional sports, through the use of unconventional routes and undiscovered markets with the aim to unleash their full potential.

We believe women’s volleyball is experiencing a boom in popularity, buoyed by the enthusiasm and backing of sports and other celebrities, such as tennis legend Billie Jean King, Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, comedian and actress Chelsea Handler and NBA star Kevin Durant as reported by NPR (“New women’s pro volleyball league just doubled its funding, thanks to famous investors,” October 4, 2023). We are hoping to
