The evaluation of Wrexham AFC is considered low, provided it’s more than century-long history. Formed in 1864, Wrexham AFC is the oldest Welsh club, and the third-oldest club in the history of football. Despite having such a well-decorated and eminent history of nearly 159 years, the club had been failing miserably.
Ryan Reynolds came to the rescue when he bought the club in 2021 along with Rob McElhenney. The team’s prominent potential was brought out following Reynolds and McElhenney’s purchase. The actors further decided to launch a TV series Welcome to Wrexham documenting the history and growth of the team, in order to increase media following and merchandise sales.
Despite the great success of the team, it was reported that Ryan Reynolds faced some differences from his wife Blake Lively. Witnessing the deteriorated condition of the club, Lively didn’t appreciate Reynolds’ investment in the club. However, the actor risked his marriage and proceeded to make an investment in his foresighted success.
Currently, Wrexham AFC’s success is beyond measure, and they are to be welcomed to America. TST founder & CEO Jon Mugar is proud to welcome the team. “Wrexham AFC is an incredible story showcasing the experience that can unfold when fans, players, and owners are equally committed to the Club and the community” Mugar commented.
Ryan Reynolds’ team Wrexham AFC is to proceed towards their big goal of the TST-organized unprecedented, million-dollar, winner-take-all prize. Despite Blake Lively’s opposition to Ryan Reynolds’ investment in Wrexham AFC, the players in red are to make their debut in the US.
