The actress, 50, is an investor in the Mexican side Club Necaxa, which Ryan and Rob McElhenney also purchased a stake in last year. Welcome to Wrexham follows the Hollywood stars as they revive the legendary Wrexham Football Club and was filmed on location in Wales. The spin-off, Bienvenido a Necaxa (Welcome to Necaxa), will follow Mexico 's Club Necaxa, with all three actors set to make an appearance. Necaxa, based in the central Mexican city of Aguascalientes, has won the league championship three times in their history. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Speaking in an interview with GQ Mexico, Eva said: 'I want people to see the good things in this country. 'I want to focus on this. And soccer, culturally, is one of those things.' Eva is also one of the key investors in the Los Angeles Angels women's team along with Serena Williams, and Christina Aguilera. Wrexham Association Football Club, which is based in Wrexham, Wales, formed in 1864, earning it the distinction of being the oldest club in Wales, and the third-oldest professional association football team in the world. The club compete in EFL League One, the third level of the English football league system. Ryan and Rob bought Wrexham AFC through their RR McReynolds Company LLC in November 2020. The duo's company would go on to receive the backing of 98.6% of the 2,000 members of the Wrexham Supporters Trust that voted, completely the deal in February 2021. Last month, Ryan told Wrexham fans he plans a long stay with the club as the celebrations continue following their unprecedented triple consecutive promotion. The Welsh side sealed a stunning return to the second tier for the first time since 1982 with a thumping 3-0 victory over Charlton. Jubilant fans stormed the pitch when promotion was confirmed as players celebrated alongside Hollywood duo and co-owners Ryan and Rob, with Blake Lively also jetting in to enjoy the scenes. The Red Dragons were languishing in the fifth tier of English football after relegation from the Football League in 2008 and nearly went out of business. But the club has been transformed since the takeoever by the pair of actors in 2021. They have overseen a move from from non-league to within reach of the Premier League amid huge publicity partly driven by the documentary series Welcome to Wrexham. Reflecting on their meteoric rise, the Deadpool actor described his ownership as the 'greatest four years' of his life and said he would remain for 'many more' years. In a gushing X post, he wrote: 'This club is the sum of its supporters. Before we showed up they'd saved it multiple times. It's a temple as much as a football pitch. 'Wrexham has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. It's hard to avoid immediately starting work on next season - but important to take the moment in… 'Looking back and looking forward feels really good right now. I think I speak for Rob McElhenney when I say, thank you for the greatest four years and here's to many more.' The post was accompanied with a video from an Ed Sheeran concert, with a montage of Wrexham fans flooding the pitch. Ed, who owns a minority stake in Ipswich, is heard saying: 'Ryan, I think Wrexham are going to get promoted and we're going to see each other next season.' Ryan said Wrexham made 'history' despite people doubting him and Rob thinking their dreams of being in the Premier League could be possible.
