VERO BEACH, FL - September 8, 2025 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - Centcore, a division of Mitesco, Inc. (OTC-QB:MITI), today announced a strategic partnership with Sportzfolio, LLC to launch a first-of-its-kind Pickleball Properties Listing & Marketing Platform. This new digital hub is designed to meet surging demand in the nation’s fastest-growing sport by connecting property owners, developers, municipalities, and investors with real estate suited for pickleball courts, centers, and multi-use facilities.

The platform will operate strictly as a marketing and advertising service - not a brokerage - providing a safe, scalable, and cost-effective way to showcase properties without the compliance or liability risks of commission-based models. With tiered listing options, streamlined intake, and integrated digital marketing campaigns, the solution is positioned to become the go-to destination for the pickleball real estate market.

“This is more than a listing site - it’s an engine for exposure and growth,” said Brian Valania, General Manager of Centcore. “Our Tier-3+ data center infrastructure ensures the platform runs with enterprise-grade reliability and security, while Sportzfolio brings deep expertise in sports-focused market development. Together, we are creating a central hub that helps entrepreneurs, municipalities, and developers unlock the enormous potential of pickleball.”

The platform will offer:

• Free Listings with basic property data and photos.

• Tiered Paid Listings with vetted summaries, extended visibility, and lead tracking.

• Marketing Bundles with optional promotional campaigns for added reach.

• Referral Opportunities with licensed brokers, agents, and legal professionals.

• Advertising Slots for vendors, service providers, and partners.

“Pickleball is more than a sport - it’s a cultural shift that’s driving demand for new spaces and new opportunities,” said Dave Conord, CEO of Sportzfolio, LLC. “By teaming up with Centcore, we can deliver a platform that is secure, scalable, and built to serve the long-term needs of this industry. This is about building an ecosystem where athletes, developers, and communities all win.”

“Sportzfolio’s mission has always been to empower growth in sports through innovative partnerships,” Conord added. “This collaboration allows us to extend that mission into one of the fastest-growing recreational markets in the country. Together, we’re laying the digital foundation for pickleball’s next decade of expansion.”

With over 36 million U.S. participants in 2024 and rising, pickleball continues to fuel demand for dedicated courts, training centers, and lifestyle-oriented facilities. The Centcore-Sportzfolio platform is designed to help stakeholders identify opportunities, drive visibility, and accelerate project execution in this rapidly evolving space.
