Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds expanded ownership from Wrexham into Mexico by buying a stake in Liga MX club Necaxa in 2024. Necaxa has a storied history stretching more than 100 years but lacks a league trophy for nearly 30 years. Eva Longoria invested in the team in 2021 and stars in a Necaxa docuseries that highlights Liga MX's highs and lows. Necaxa has been a consistent playoff contender and a source of promising talent, but signings frequently move on. The club still needs to prove itself on the field in Aguascalientes amid passionate Mexican football culture.
"It's the same sport, but the culture is obviously so different, and the gravitas is there in both. The passion is there, but there is a sense that the differences are stark. "English football, it feels more like a fight. A Mexican football game feels like a dance, and I knew, 'Oh wow, that feels different enough to us than Wrexham that we could tell a really beautiful story.'"
When Mac and fellow megastar Ryan Reynolds took charge of Wrexham in 2020, the duo were able to revive the historic Welsh side, and captured the club's rebirth for their "Welcome to Wrexham" docuseries. Since buying a stake in Necaxa, a Mexican club that also has a storied past that stretches back more than 100 years, in 2024, a similar story is now developing that has coincided with the release of Los Rayos' own docuseries: "Necaxa."
