Welcome to Wrexham showcases Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney's unexpected ownership of AFC Wrexham, achieving worldwide acclaim. This success has led to imitative projects, such as Built in Birmingham. Club Necaxa, once a major Mexican team, has faced struggles since relocation to Aguascalientes. The documentary on Necaxa features Eva Longoria as a key investor, focusing on her narrative while outlining the club's challenges and aspirations. The Mexican league's elimination of promotion and relegation has preserved Necaxa's elite status, yet success on the field remains elusive.
The story of unlikely celebrity investors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney taking the extremely unlikely decision to buy AFC Wrexham was an unexpected tonic and a worldwide hit.
Necaxa relocated an hour and a half's drive north to Aguascalientes, finding it hard to make the playoffs, let alone challenge for the league title.
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, who has diversified from acting and directing into commercial ventures, was part of the consortium that invested in Necaxa in 2021.
The Mexican first division abandoned promotion and relegation in 2020, so Necaxa's elite status is secure, but it has struggled since its move.
