The Future is Fútbol confirmed that soccer is the fastest-growing team sport in America and, as worldsoccertalk.com reported, “With the explosive growth and strengthening of the game domestically over the past 30 years, it is especially exciting to think about where we go from here. The 1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA still holds the all-time tournament attendance record (despite only having 24 teams and fewer games than subsequent tournaments) and was the most commercially successful edition ever. When 2026 brings the World Cup back to North America , with an expanded field of 48 teams, those records will surely be smashed.”
Perrine joins a management and advisory team that includes Daniel McClory , renowned investment banker and Brera’s Executive Chairman, who just acquired a majority stake in Brera Holdings ; and an advisory board that includes Massimo Ferragamo , Chairman of Ferragamo USA, Alan Rothenberg , Major League Soccer Founder and World Cup Director, Sports Business Leaders, Paul Tosetti and Marshall Geller, and Football Icon, Giuseppe Rossi, to Brera’s all-star Advisory Board .
