Ryan Reynolds and Rob McIlhenney will welcome Wrexham to the United States this summer and are set to play for the Welsh club in a $1million tournament.
Wrexham, who are co-owned by the two actors, have been accepted into The Soccer Tournament, a new seven-a-side competition between 32 teams which will take place in Cary, North Carolina in June. Wrexham are the ninth team to officially join the inaugural event, following a host of professional and celebrity sides.
Former Premier League star Clint Dempsey will lead his own team, as will a group of former US Women internationals organised by legendary figure Heather O'Reilly. British football and esports club Hashtag United have also signed up as part of the nine already-confirmed sides. What's most interesting from Wrexham's addition is that Reynolds and McIlhenney have been named on their squad list in the hope of bringing home a grand prize back across the pond.
