Ryan Reynolds and his Hollywood buddy, Rob McElhenney, have been making the Welsh club reach different milestones. Since they acquired the club in 2020, they have played the real-life Ted Lasso in achieving success for their team. Be it encouraging more investments to up-scaling their stadium or pulling their team forward to a promotion, the Aviation Gin promoter has a knack for pushing organizations forward. 

After the ‘Critics Choice Awards’ and the ‘Rocky Trophy’ win, the team is eyeing another award. The Welcome to Wrexham is all set to win another accolade.

Wrexham AFC is hit both on the field and on-screen

The first season of Welcome to Wrexham was a roaring success. And soon after, they decided to start shooting for the second season. And lo-and-behold, the football club is nominated for another award. Hollywood Critics Award reported that the docuseries has been nominated for ‘Best Cable Reality or Competition Series’ by the 2023 HCA TV Awards. Among the 8 nominees, Welcome to Wrexham is the only sports-themed frontrunner. 

Talking about the series in the past, Reynolds and McElhenney revealed how Welcome to Wrexham wasn’t just the story about the town but something more. From feeling weird about always having a camera around to adding more feathers on their cap, these two co-chairpersons are doing a pretty good job with the club. 

These achievements have not come very easy. The two Hollywood stars have put in quite some effort in lifting the team and respecting the cultural significance this third-oldest professional football team in the world holds.

The Ryan Reynolds gameplay – from promotion to philanthropy

After landing a promotion after 15 whole years, the fans of this Welsh football club are secure about the club being in great hands. And the efforts that these co-chairpersons have taken to pull this club out of the rut are remarkable. After Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney bought the club for $2 million, it kept hitting milestones.

First the promotion, and then landing a $25 million cash injection to upscale the stadium. They upscaled their philanthropy with a $5000 donation to the children’s ward of the Maelor Hospital fundraiser as well.
