Brera Holdings PLC ("Brera Holdings" or the "Company", Nasdaq:
BREA) announced that Board Member Chris Gardner attended the
second leg match of the prestigious Champions League semifinal
between FC Inter and AC Milan last Tuesday. Garnder was hosted by
Goran Pandev, also a Brera Holdings Board Member and former FC
Inter player, who was part of the team that won the 2010 legendary
“Triplete.” In a sold out and enthusiastic San Siro Stadium with
75,567 spectators, the VIP grandstand, in addition to Chris
Gardner, welcomed numerous Italian and international personalities
from politics, culture, finance, entertainment and sports.
RedBird Capital Partners, an American investment firm and the
owners of AC Milan, attended with a delegation led by Founder and
Managing Partner Gerry Cardinale.
FC Inter, or “The Nerazzurri,” won the second leg match of the
so-called “Euroderby” 1-0 (3-0 on aggregate) to progress to the Cup
final, where they will face Manchester City in Istanbul on June 10,
2023.
“I have never experienced anything like the roar of the crowd at
San Siro,” said Chris Gardner. “It was non-stop noise and
excitment. I can’t wait for Brera FC to return to San Siro
and host the FENIX Trophy Final,” he concluded.
Brera Holdings CEO, Sergio Scalpelli welcomed Chris Gardner to
the iconic venue, “This match means a lot for Milan. As Brera FC,
‘The Third Team of Milan,’ we are happy to share with Chris the
exceptional world football atmosphere that reigns in Milan. Using
these two top clubs as benchmarks, we aim to continue our
international growth strategy, but with a totally different
business model compared to FC Inter and AC Milan.”
In three weeks’ time, on June 8, 2023, San Siro will also be the
stage for the FENIX Trophy Finals, organized and owned by Brera
FC.
