Wrexham's Rise: Reynolds & McElhenney's Historic Feat

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have achieved an unprecedented success story as co-owners of Wrexham AFC. When the Hollywood actors took over the struggling Welsh club in February 2021, the idea of them succeeding was met with skepticism. The club had languished in the fifth tier of English football for fifteen years.

Their journey, documented in the Emmy Award-winning series 'Welcome to Wrexham,' highlights the immense challenges and unexpected triumphs. Reynolds famously stated, "If you're trying to do something that's never been done before, you can't be surprised when it's hard." This philosophy has guided their ambitious project.

Under their ownership, Wrexham has experienced three consecutive promotions, dramatically increasing its valuation by 17,000 percent according to Bloomberg. The club is now set to play a pre-season friendly against Liverpool at Yankee Stadium, a fixture that underscores the remarkable transformation and the actors' dedication to their unconventional venture.
