The short answer is still the one most Wrexham fans already know: Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac control Wrexham FC.
The longer answer has become a little messier. Since buying the club in 2021, Reynolds and Mac have brought in minority investors, including the Allyn Family Office and Apollo Sports Capital. That has led to a fair bit of confusion online, especially from people who follow the club through Welcome to Wrexham rather than through company filings or club statements.
But control has not changed hands. Reynolds and Mac remain the main owners and the public faces of the project.
Who owns Wrexham FC now?
Wrexham AFC is majority-owned and controlled by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac.
Companies House records list both men as active persons with significant control at Wrexham AFC Limited. In plain English, that means they hold the kind of ownership rights that matter: 75% or more of the shares, 75% or more of the voting rights, and the right to appoint or remove directors.
That is why minority investment does not mean a takeover. The Allyns and Apollo may now be part of the financial picture, but they have not replaced Reynolds and Mac as the people in charge.
One small naming point is worth clearing up too. The club is officially Wrexham AFC, not Wrexham FC, although plenty of people use “Wrexham FC” when searching for it. The registered company is Wrexham AFC Limited, based at the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham.
How Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac bought Wrexham
Reynolds and Mac completed the takeover on 9 February 2021. Before that, Wrexham was owned by the Wrexham Supporters Trust.
At the time, this was not an obvious Hollywood move. Wrexham were in the National League, outside the English Football League, and the club had been away from the bigger stages of the game for years. It was an old club with a loyal fanbase, a famous ground and a lot of work to do.
That is partly why the story caught on. Two actors from North America did not buy a ready-made Premier League brand. They bought a Welsh club that needed money, attention and patience.
The takeover later became the backbone of Welcome to Wrexham. The show gave the club a global audience, but the ownership story is not just a television story. Since 2021, Wrexham have invested in players, grown commercially, attracted bigger sponsors and pushed forward with plans around the Racecourse Ground.
Does anyone else own part of Wrexham AFC?
Yes. Wrexham now has minority investors.
The Allyn Family Office joined as a minority investor in 2024. Apollo Sports Capital followed in 2025. Both investments added outside backing, but neither deal made the new investors the controlling owners.
That distinction matters. Football ownership stories often get flattened into simple headlines: someone “buys a stake,” so people assume control has shifted. In Wrexham’s case, the stake sales widened the ownership group without changing who ultimately runs the club.
| Owner or investor | Role at Wrexham AFC |
| Ryan Reynolds | Majority owner / co-chairman |
| Rob Mac | Majority owner / co-chairman |
| Allyn Family Office | Minority investor |
| Apollo Sports Capital | Minority investor |
So, no, Wrexham is not owned by Apollo. It is not owned by the Allyn family either. They are investors. Reynolds and Mac remain the controlling owners.
Did Disney buy Wrexham?
No. Disney does not own Wrexham AFC.
This mix-up is easy to understand. A lot of newer fans came to Wrexham through Welcome to Wrexham, and the series has been distributed through Disney+ in some places. That can make the club’s media story look like its ownership story.
It is not.
Disney may be connected to the documentary. It does not own the football club. Wrexham AFC remains controlled by Reynolds and Mac, with minority investors now sitting behind them.
Who owned Wrexham before Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac?
Before Reynolds and Mac arrived, Wrexham was owned by the Wrexham Supporters Trust.
The Trust era ended in February 2021, when the takeover was completed. That was a big cultural shift for the club. Wrexham moved from supporter ownership into private ownership led by two high-profile figures who were new to football club ownership.
It was not a small step. Fans had every reason to be cautious. Wrexham existed long before the cameras, the sponsors and the celebrity attention. But the new owners also brought resources the club had badly needed for years.
Why Wrexham’s ownership keeps getting attention
The ownership story still gets attention because Wrexham is not a normal celebrity-club case.
Reynolds and Mac did not buy a club already near the top. They bought one trying to get back into the Football League. That made the project feel different from the usual billionaire takeover story. It had a bit more risk, and a lot more room for embarrassment if it went wrong.
Instead, the club’s profile has exploded. Wrexham have picked up international fans, major sponsors and new investors. The team has climbed, the documentary has kept rolling, and the Racecourse Ground has become part of a much bigger commercial plan.
That is why the same question keeps coming back: who actually owns Wrexham?
The answer is still Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac. The only real update is that they no longer stand alone financially. Minority investors are now involved, but control remains with the two co-chairmen who bought the club in 2021.
