Ryan Reynolds appeared to be the proud owner of his own Welsh football team, Wrexham AFC, as he posed on the pitch in a series of photos he uploaded to his Instagram on Saturday.
The Deadpool actor, 45, bought the team in 2020 alongside close friend and fellow actor Rob McElhenney, also 45.
The star appeared to be in high spirits as he snapped a few snaps at the Racecourse Ground stadium in Wales, home of Wrexham, which he shared with his fans and followers.

Ryan was also seen wearing a cap representing the Wales team as he posed for some quick and memorable snaps.

The two friends bought the Welsh team together in 2020 before officially meeting face to face. The Deadpool star originally reached out to the It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia actor on social media as a fan.
The two became close which led to the purchase of Wrexham Association Football Club for £2million, the equivalent of around $2.3million, The Athletic reported. The Financial Conduct Authority gave final approval in 2021.
During a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, guest-hosted by Rob, the two spoke about being co-owners.
Ryan also spoke about his wife, actress Blake Lively’s reaction when he revealed he had bought half of a Welsh team and said it was “not good”.

Ryan went into detail about the moment he told his wife. “I remember seeing Blake and saying, ‘I have bad news and I have really bad news. The bad news is I slipped into someone’s DMs again.’
“The really bad news is I may have bought half of a fifth tier national football league in Wales,” added the star.
Though Blake wasn’t initially “thrilled” with the news, Ryan confirmed to Entertainment Tonight that she’s started to feel different.
“She’s actually more obsessed with Wrexham than I am,” he revealed.
“We were in bed after the Wembley game and she said ‘I’m just as obsessed now, if not more than you, with this club and this community and this city and everything that represents it and where it can go’, the actor explained. From that moment on, his wife began to be happy about the possession.
“She’s just as obsessed as I am, she’s already looking at the schedule throughout the year wondering what games she can get into, so it’s pretty awesome.”

The anticipated series will premiere on August 24 on FX, Disney+ and Hulu.
