Brera Holdings Set to Announce its FENIX Trophy "Final Four" Host City
March 29 2023 - 9:00AM
The FENIX Trophy, called the “Champions League for Amateurs” by BBC
Sport, created, owned and promoted by Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera”
and Nasdaq: BREA) and recognized by UEFA, has set its field of
teams and will shortly announce the host city for its “Final Four”
stage taking place in June 2023.
The FENIX Trophy tournament in 2023, which is the second annual
tournament (the “Second Edition”), will bring together 9
non-professional European football clubs, chosen for their
exceptional social, historical and cultural distinctiveness,
including clubs rebuilt and run by their fans, clubs featuring
significant social and cultural projects, and clubs with
extraordinary communication skills. In line with its motto “Making
friends, not millionaires,” the FENIX TROPHY in just two years of
existence has emerged as a European network of cult
non-professional clubs.
The FENIX Trophy competition’s meaning goes beyond simple
football aspects, it is an immersive experience meant to highlight
best practices within non-professional football: sportsmanship,
bonds with the local community, sustainability, use of technology
and friendship among clubs.
The FENIX Trophy’s symbol is a phoenix, the mythological bird
that regenerates from its predecessor’s ashes, which stands as a
metaphor and an inspiration for the rebirth of new football models.
FENIX also has a powerful meaning as an acronym: Friendly,
European, Non-Professional, Innovative, Xenial.
In the Second Edition, the participant clubs are: Brera FC
(Italy), FC United of Manchester (UK), AFC DWS (Netherlands), BK
Skjold (Denmark), KSK Beveren (Belgium), Prague Raptors FC (Czech
Republic), CD Cuenca-Mestallistes 1925 (Spain), Krakow Dragoons
(Poland) and FK Miljakovac (Serbia). After a group stage of three
groups with three clubs each, the three group winners and the best
runner-up will then face each other to decide the winning team of
the Second Edition.
Last year’s FENIX Trophy was won by fan-owned “FC United of
Manchester” during an engaging three-day event which welcomed
thousands of spectators from all over Europe to the beach town of
Rimini on Italy’s Adriatic coast. Like all FENIX Trophy matches,
the semifinals and finals will be followed by a friendly “Third
Half,” a well-established Brera tradition bringing together the
final two teams in a convivial after-match celebration.
Several candidate cities have made pitches to Brera for
consideration as the tournament site for the four finalist teams.
The FENIX Trophy’s “Final Four” host city will be announced by
April 30, 2023. Every FENIX Trophy match is broadcast for
free via live streaming through the tournament’s official YouTube
channel. See https://www.fenixtrophy.eu/ for updates and info.
