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

The talented actor donned a stylishly casual ensemble as he checked up on the big stadium.
He wore a plain, white T-shirt and added a dark navy flannel on top. He paired the shirt with dark blue pants.
Ryan could also be seen wearing a cap that represented the Welsh team as he posed for a few quick and memorable snaps.
The star added a short caption to his photo series, typing out, ‘Made it to church on time.’

Another photo showed the two business partners, Ryan and Rob, posing in the red-seated stands and holding a scarf representing the team’s home colors and symbol.
The two buddies purchased the Welsh team together in 2020 before officially meeting each other 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 resulted in the purchase of Wrexham Association Football Club for £2 million, which is equivalent to around $2.3 million, reported The Athletic. The Financial Conduct Authority gave final approval in 2021.
During a recent interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, which was guest-hosted by Rob, the two discussed being joint owners.
Ryan also opened up about his wife, actress Blake Lively’s reaction when he informed her that he had purchased half of a Welsh team, saying 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 that I might have bought half of a fifth-tier national football league in Wales,’ the star added.
Although Blake wasn’t initially ‘thrilled’ by the news, Ryan confirmed on Entertainment Tonight that she has begun to feel differently.
‘She’s actually more obsessed with Wrexham than I am,’ he revealed.
‘We were laying in bed after the Wembley match and she’s like, ‘I’m now as obsessed if not more than you are with this club and this community and this town and everything it represents and where it can go,’ the actor explained of the moment his wife started to become excited about the ownership.
‘She’s as obsessed as I am, she’s already looking at the schedule throughout the year wondering which matches she can attend so it’s pretty great.’

To properly capture the steps of running the team, Ryan and Rob will star in their own documentary series called, Welcome To Wrexham.
According to the official IMDB synopsis, the show will follow, ‘the purchase and stewardship of Wrexham AFC, one of professional football’s oldest clubs, by two Hollywood actors.’
The anticipated series will premiere on FX, Disney+, and Hulu on August 24.
