Eva Longoria supports Wrexham at League One return

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has become the latest Hollywood name to pay a visit to Wrexham's Racecourse ground.

The actress was spotted at the team's opening match in their return to League One for the first time in 19 years - and they won 3-2 against Wycombe.

Also cheering on the players on Saturday were the club's celebrity co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

The trio are reportedly working on an FX and Disney+ Latin America docuseries about Club Necaxa, a Mexican soccer team, of which Longoria is club owner, alongside co-owners McElhenney and Reynolds.

It will follow the club in a similar style to the platform's popular Welcome to Wrexham show.

A video, posted to X, external, formerly called Twitter, showed Longoria celebrating the win from the ground's executive box alongside Reynolds and McElhenney.

Longoria follows a string of the co-owners' famous friends to make the trip to north Wales, including Paul Rudd, Hugh Jackman and Will Ferrell.

The A-lister duo took over the club in 2021, investing millions of pounds into it and seeing it through two consecutive promotions.

After Saturday's match, striker Stephen Fletcher said it was "always a lift" to have the Deadpool and Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars in the stands.

"It all gives us a lift when they're there, they bring a presence when they walk into the changing room... there's no pressure with it, no one's taken aback, they're just one of the lads with the way they come in which is good," he said.

And McElhenney admitted the hope would be for Wrexham to earn a third straight promotion.

Reacting to spotting Longoria, season ticket holder Sarah Howell said it was "crazy".

"Just when you think you're used to it, someone else pops up and surprises you," she said.

"My season ticket is just below the executive box so I tend to have a good look up before the game and quickly spot any new visitors. It's all good publicity for the town, but mainly for the club."
