"Reynolds and McElhenney, who have overseen a historic triple-promotion at the Racecourse alongside resounding commercial success thanks in part, to their 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary on Disney+, are involved in a group of investors who took over at the Colombian side this year. The group is led by real estate investor Al Tylis and includes actress Eva Longoria. Other high-profile names involved in the new direction of the Bogota-based club are MLB pitcher Justin Verlander, Kate Upton and former NBA player Shawn Marion."
"Unlike Reynolds' and McElhenney's fast start at Wrexham, things at La Equidad haven't gone as swimmingly with the side finishing bottom of the Colombian Primera A with just three wins in their 20 games played. La Equidad are based in Bogota, the capital of Colombia. They play at Estadio Metropolitano de Techo, a 10,000-seat facility. But those fans have had little to cheer about this season."
"Their last game of the season, a resounding 4-0 win over Deportivo Pereira was also the last with its current name, traditional green colours and crest with a new image set to be announced in January 2026, according to President Nicolás Maya. "Let's experience together the close of a story that defined Colombian football," the club said on social media before their final game under the name La Equidad."
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are part of an investor group that took over Bogota-based La Equidad this year. The investor group is led by real estate investor Al Tylis and includes actress Eva Longoria, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander, model Kate Upton and former NBA player Shawn Marion. La Equidad finished bottom of the Colombian Primera A with three wins from 20 games and plays at the 10,000-seat Estadio Metropolitano de Techo. The final match under the La Equidad name was a 4-0 win over Deportivo Pereira. The club, founded in 1982, will undergo a major rebrand with a new image announced in January 2026 by President Nicolás Maya. Wrexham experienced historic triple promotion and commercial growth amplified by the Welcome to Wrexham documentary; a similar behind-the-scenes program has followed another club the investors back in Mexico.
