FENIX Trophy: Brera FC Qualifies for The Final Four
May 25 2023 - 8:50AM
Brera Holdings PLC ("Brera Holdings" or the "Company", Nasdaq:
BREA) announced that Brera FC qualified for the FENIX Trophy Final
Four Stage, which will be held in Milan on June 7 at the Arena
Civica for the semifinals; and should the team win on June 8, at
the legendary San Siro for the finals.
“It’s a great honor for Brera FC not only to host but also to be
part of the four finalists of this great event at two iconic venues
of Milanese football,” said Brera Holdings CEO, Sergio
Scalpelli. The BBC has called the FENIX Trophy Tournament
“Europe’s Champion’s League for Amateurs,” covering it in a lead
story on BBC Sport in 2022.
The qualification is the result of a double fixture held this
week: first, at the Arena Civica in Milan Brera FC recorded a 4-2
win against FK Miljakovac on May 17 (video highlights of the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5CR6rjw7h0) and second; a 0-2
defeat yesterday against Danish Skjold FC in Copenhagen.
The match against FK Miljakovac at the Arena Civica started with
a symbolic kick-off by Chris Gardner, a Brera Holdings Founder and
Board member, entrepreneur and author of the New York Times
bestseller, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” his autobiography that
inspired the movie of the same name starring Will Smith and
directed by Gabriele Muccino.
The FENIX Trophy is a UEFA-approved international sports event
owned and organized by Brera FC that involves nine non-professional
European football clubs selected for their exceptional social,
historical and cultural distinctiveness.
