The creator of supply-side economics and the Laffer Curve joins Luxury Executive Massimo Ferragamo, MLS Founder and World Cup Director Alan Rothenberg, Sports Business Leaders Paul Tosetti and Marshall Geller, and Football Icon Giuseppe Rossi on Brera’s Advisory Board

 

Dublin, Ireland and Milan, Italy—March 7, 2024— Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: BREA), an Ireland-based, international holding company focused on expanding its global portfolio of men’s and women’s sports clubs through a multi-club ownership (“MCO”) approach, announces today the addition of Dr. Arthur B. Laffer to the Company’s top-tier Advisory Board.

 

Laffer joins the Advisory Board all-star team members Massimo Ferragamo, Alan Rothenberg, Paul Tosetti, Giuseppe Rossi, and Marshall Geller.

 

“Dr. Laffer’s economic expertise and strategic insights into market expansion and asset monetization make him a powerful addition to our all-star Advisory Board. His principles, including the Laffer Curve, offer a unique perspective on optimizing revenue while maintaining operational efficiency. We were diligent in ensuring that Brera’s Advisory Board provides visionary leadership as we continue to drive our MCO strategy forward,” stated Daniel McClory, Brera’s Executive Chairman.

 

Dr. Arthur B. Laffer is a distinguished economist best known for his work on supply-side economics and the Laffer Curve, which has influenced global fiscal policy. The Company believes his extensive experience advising U.S. policymakers, corporate leaders, and investors will bring a fresh economic dimension to Brera’s football expansion strategy. Laffer’s expertise will help shape the Company’s vision of positioning football clubs as global economic assets by maximizing player monetization, revenue streams, and international market penetration, particularly in North America and Asia.

 

 

Laffer will advise on key strategic initiatives, with potential input on developing proprietary financial models inspired by the Laffer Curve to optimize player salaries, transfer fees, and overall profitability. He will leverage his political and corporate networks to position Brera’s clubs as transatlantic brands, providing exposure to American investors and potentially expanding the fanbase. Additionally, his connections in finance, energy, and technology are expected to be instrumental in accessing relationships for potential high-value sponsorship deals, broadcasting rights, and government incentives. Laffer’s strategic input may also inform stadium modernization efforts, digital engagement initiatives, and U.S.-based high-profile friendly matches, all aimed at enhancing revenue diversification and global brand growth.
