Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney’s Investment Journey
Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have enjoyed remarkable achievements at Wrexham AFC, leading the team to a historic triple promotion and achieving notable commercial success, largely due to the popularity of their Disney+ documentary, ‘Welcome to Wrexham.’
New Ventures with La Equidad
However, their investment journey takes a starkly different turn with Colombian team La Equidad. The duo joined a group of investors at La Equidad this year, spearheaded by real estate mogul Al Tylis, with other prominent participants including actress Eva Longoria, MLB star Justin Verlander, model Kate Upton, and former NBA athlete Shawn Marion.
Challenges Faced by La Equidad
In stark contrast to their success at Wrexham, La Equidad is grappling with a challenging season in the Colombian Primera A, finishing at the bottom of the league table with a mere three victories from twenty matches. Based in Bogotá, Colombia’s capital, La Equidad competes at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo, which accommodates around 10,000 fans. Unfortunately for supporters, this season has left them with little to celebrate.
Looking Ahead: Rebranding and Future Prospects
Their last outing concluded with a significant 4-0 triumph over Deportivo Pereira, marking the end of this season and the conclusion of the club operating under its current name and branding. The team is set for a major rebranding initiative, with a new name, colors, and crest to be unveiled in January 2026, as announced by club President Nicolás Maya. La Equidad’s social media heralded the final match by stating,
“Let’s experience together the close of a story that defined Colombian football,”
hinting at the club’s transformation ahead.
Future Documentary Possibilities
Founded in 1982, this shift for La Equidad raises questions about the potential for a documentary spotlight, similar to the experiences of Wrexham and Nexaca, another club where Reynolds and McElhenney hold investments. Will La Equidad’s narrative get the documentary treatment in the future? A thrilling prospect, considering the dramatic changes on the horizon for this Colombian club.
