From the City of Lights to the City that Never Sleeps: UYBA Busto Arsizio Alum and Team USA Olympic Volleyball Silver Medalist Jordyn Poulter Lights Up Times Square After Paris
August 14 2024 - 8:00AM
Calling all volleyball and women’s sports enthusiasts: women’s
professional volleyball has finally arrived in the US. Today, a
full billboard display of Olympic silver medalist Jordyn Poulter
was shown in New York’s iconic Times Square. Poulter originally
played at UYBA Volley S.s.d.a.r.l., commonly known as UYBA Busto
Arsizio or UYBA, Nasdaq-listed Brera Holdings PLC’s historic,
majority-owned volleyball club.
“Jordyn Poulter represents everything that is right about this
amazing sport. Her numerous achievements and medals are a real
tribute to her talent and work ethic,” said Dicey McGraw, Head of
US Operations at Brera Holdings PLC. McGraw was on the UCLA women’s
volleyball, including a stint as captain, during her tenure at the
university from 2007-2011.
Poulter, like many US women professional volleyball players,
started her career in 2018 playing in Italy. Italy, who won the
Olympic gold medal in a decisive showdown against Team USA on
Sunday, has one of the best volleyball leagues in the world. As
Poulter is just two years removed from her time at UYBA – making it
to the Olympic finals is no coincidence.

2020/2021 to 2021/2022
“With Jordyn Poulter on their roster UYBA was able to reach the
semifinals in the European Champions League in 2022, and two years
later she is front and center at the gold medal game representing
the USA. At UYBA we love to see our current and past players excel
on and off the court. It is also wonderful to see the sport of
volleyball and all women’s sports continue to grow and get the
attention they deserve,” commented Perrine.

ABOUT BRERA HOLDINGS PLC
Brera Holdings PLC (Nasdaq: BREA) is focused on expanding its
social impact football (American soccer) business by developing a
global portfolio of emerging football and other sports clubs with
increased opportunities to earn tournament prizes, gain
sponsorships, and provide other professional football- and
sports-related consulting services.
The Company seeks to build on the legacy and brand of Brera FC,
the first football club that was acquired by the Company in 2022.
Brera FC, known as "The Third Team of Milan," is an amateur
football association which has been building an alternative
football legacy since its founding in 2000. The Company owns the
trademarked FENIX Trophy Tournament, a nonprofessional pan-European
football competition recognized by UEFA, inaugurated in September
2021 and organized by Brera FC. "FENIX" is an acronym for "Friendly
European Nonprofessional Innovative Xenial." BBC Sport has called
the FENIX Trophy "the Champions League for amateurs," and ESPN
covered the 2024 FENIX Trophy finals. 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.
In March 2023, the Company expanded to Africa with the
establishment of Brera Tchumene FC, a team then admitted to the
Second Division League in Mozambique, a country of nearly 32
million people. Brera Tchumene FC won its post-season tournament
and in November 2023 was promoted to Mocambola, the First Division
in Mozambique. In April 2023, the Company acquired 90% of the
European first division football team Fudbalski Klub Akademija
Pandev, now known as Brera Strumica FC, in North Macedonia, a
country with participation rights in two major Union of European
Football Association ("UEFA") competitions.
In June 2023, Brera acquired a strategic stake in Manchester
United PLC, a portion of which was subject to a tender offer by Sir
Jim Radcliffe and sold at a 74% realized gain. In July 2023, the
Company completed the acquisition of a majority ownership in the
Italian Serie A1 women's professional volleyball team UYBA Volley
S.s.d.a.r.l. In September 2023, the Company assumed control of
Bayanzurkh Sporting Ilch FC, a team in the Mongolian National
Premier League, which became Brera Ilch FC when the football season
resumed in March 2024. In January 2024, the Company announced the
launch of a proactive search for an Italian Serie B football club
target designed to bring multi-club ownership of the highest tiers
of professional sports ownership to mass investors through the
Company's Nasdaq-listed shares. In February 2024, the Brera
Holdings Advisory Board was established with MLS founder and World
Cup director Alan Rothenberg, luxury lifestyle executive Massimo
Ferragamo, sports business leaders Paul Tosetti and Marshall
Geller, and Italian football icon Giuseppe Rossi.
In June 2024 the North Macedonian women’s football club Tiverija
Strumica officially become part of the Brera family with the
establishment of a joint-stock company controlled by Brera Holdings
called Women's Football Club Tiverija Brera AD Strumica (“Brera
Tiverija”). Brera Tiverija is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Brera Strumica FC. This is a landmark transaction that marks a
first in women’s football in North Macedonia, showing Brera
Holdings’ ongoing dedication and commitment to investing in women’s
sports, gender equity, and social impact globally.
As part of Brera Strumica, Brera Tiverija will continue to build
upon the work that Brera Strumica President Goran Pandev has done
in North Macedonia towards professionalizing the sport in the
country. Brera Tiverija is the first joint-stock company in women’s
football in North Macedonia, and Brera Holdings is also the first
foreign investor in women's football in North Macedonia. The move
away from an association ownership will open the door for future
investment into Brera Tiverija.
Brera Holdings PLC is focused on bottom-up value creation from
undervalued sports clubs and talent, innovation powered business
growth, and socially-impactful outcomes. See
