Actor and entrepreneur Ryan Reynolds has ventured into the world of sports again, acquiring a stake in Mexico’s Club Necaxa football team. Alongside his business partner Rob McElhenney, co-founder of R.R. McReynolds Company, Reynolds joins a group of investors, including Eva Longoria, Al Tylis, and Sam Porter. They share a goal to elevate the club’s standing and global profile, instilling hope for the club’s future success.
Following the successful takeover of Wrexham AFC, Reynolds and McElhenney are leveraging their expertise to propel Club Necaxa to international prominence. With a surge in demand for soccer content on television and streaming platforms, the investors seek to enhance the club’s stature in the sports world.
While Reynolds and McElhenney’s specific roles within Club Necaxa remain undisclosed, speculation arises about the potential for a docu-series akin to “Welcome to Wrexham” focusing on the Mexican soccer scene. Their involvement underscores the significance of media partnerships and cultural influence in achieving success.
Headquartered in Aguascalientes, Mexico, Club Necaxa’s future direction under R.R. McReynolds’ ownership remains uncertain. However, amidst the burgeoning popularity of soccer in North America, particularly Liga MX’s dominance in the U.S. market, the partnership holds promise for the club’s growth and expansion.
