Wrexham Co-Owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds Unveil Exciting Plans for Women’s Team Tour to America’s West Coast

Wrexham AFC’s women’s team is poised to make history with a summer tour across the Atlantic, mirroring the success of their male counterparts who embarked on a stateside pre-season trip last year. The Adran Premier squad will showcase their talents in three thrilling matches, starting with a showdown against SoCal FC in Los Angeles on July 19. Next, they’ll face off against Tigres Femenil Under-19s on July 21 before heading to Portland to take on the Portland Thorns Academy on July 26.

The club’s allure has surged thanks to the dynamic leadership of McElhenney and Reynolds, propelled further by the acclaimed ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ series. Their influence has garnered a devoted following in the United States, where the men’s team is also set for an American adventure this summer. Scheduled fixtures include clashes against Bournemouth in Santa Barbara, Chelsea in Santa Clara, and the Vancouver Whitecaps in Vancouver, amplifying Wrexham’s international profile and cementing their status as a global footballing force.

In their signature comedic style, the club’s co-owners, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, joyously announced the milestone of adding three women’s fixtures to the ‘Wrex Coast Tour’ with a playful address to the camera. In a specially recorded announcement for the Red Dragons’ YouTube page, the duo even prepared a comedic routine, reflecting their infectious enthusiasm for the upcoming tour.

McElhenney quipped, “Chances are, there are plenty of historic firsts you’ve missed witnessing,” before he and Reynolds proceeded to list off notable achievements throughout history, from the invention of the telephone to the first moon landing, cheekily adding the debut episode of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ to the mix.

Transitioning to the tour announcement, McElhenney, the creator of the show, shifted gears, declaring, “But here’s your chance to witness history in the making. The Wrexham AFC Women are about to make their debut right here in the U.S.” Reynolds chimed in, urging fans to secure their tickets and become a part of this historic moment.

The Hollywood duo had previously hinted at the possibility of the women’s team mirroring the success of Wrexham’s men’s squad, which embarked on a highly acclaimed tour of the US last year. They pledged, “In addition to their victories on home turf, this tour presents a fantastic opportunity for Wrexham AFC Women to showcase their talents to the world.”

Echoing this sentiment, Wrexham AFC Women’s manager, Steve Dale, remarked, “After hearing the tales of the men’s tour last season, it’s fantastic that the women’s team will have the same chance. The time afforded to us for preparation ahead of the upcoming league campaign will be invaluable in our pursuit to better our third-place finish.”

Furthermore, Andrea Brimmer, the club’s Chief Marketing and Public Relations Officer, emphasized, “Our commitment to advancing women’s sports aligns perfectly with our partnership with Ally, making them the ideal collaborator to bring Wrexham AFC Women to the US for this groundbreaking tour. The ‘Wrex Coast Tour’ provides them with the platform they’ve rightfully earned through captivating audiences with their narratives and exceptional performance.”
