Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are already the proud owners of the Wrexham AFC in Wales, UK. Back in the Spring of 2024 they teamed up with Eva Longoria to purchase a share of the century-old Mexican soccer Club Necaxa with a vision of launching a Wrexham-style TV show chronicling the Mexican soccer team. Following the investment Club Necaxa was valued at $200 million. A documentary-style TV show similar to โWelcome To Wrexhamโ has already been filmed featuring Club Necaxa, and Disney+ has bought the rights to steam it.
Now theyโve partnered with Eva Longoria and a consortium consisting of Major League Baseball pitcher Justin Verlander and his model wife Kate Upton, to purchase 99% of the Club Deportivo La Equidad, based in the Colombian capital of Bogota. The acquisition is said to have cost roughly $30 million dollars. No word yet on if another documentary-style TV show will be filmed, but itโs a pretty good bet since thereโs clearly an appetite for all things Ryan Reynolds related.
