Ever since Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds got hold of the Welsh Club Wrexham AFC, the club has been flying into new heights. He has been heavily involved in almost every decision, ensuring the best outcome. The effect of his involvement is clear on the team. Wrexham is performing better than ever.
Wrexham is in the 2nd spot in the National League, despite being 2 matches behind. The club is flourishing amid the tides. They have announced a new project that will see a colossal boom in the team’s popularity.
The Welsh club is standing on the verge of getting promoted. Their magnificent and magical performance in the FA cup has rendered everyone their fan.

The big plan for soccer museum
The welsh club caused a huge push from the welsh government. The boost amounting to around 6 million USD will help tourism to grow in the area. Capitalizing on the ever-increasing popularity of Wrexham FC, they have decided to build a soccer museum celebrating the old and decorated history of soccer in Wales.
What a team. We absolutely never give up. The fight in this @Wrexham_AFC side is unbelievable. The best side we have had in my lifetime.

BBC Reported that the project manager of the Museum Jonathan Gammond said, “It’s about any football played in Wales or any football played by Welsh people outside Wales. All aspects of the game will be covered: amateurs, professionals, men and women, different nationalities and minorities – everyone who loves the game. And exploring the story, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well“.
The national museum will be more central to welsh soccer than just Wrexham. But Wrexham is the oldest club in the country. The most recent historical event would definitely be Wrexham upsetting Coventry.

When Ryan Reynolds lost his mind
In the FA cup, Wrexham was the only lower-tier club by the third round. The amazing run of the Welsh club surprised fans. However, no one was ready for the absolutely breathtaking match they were going to play against the tier 2 team. On paper, it was no less than a one-sided match. To the horror of Coventry fans, Wrexham decided not to lose that day.

Even Ryan Reynolds was stunned. Posting the scoreboard during the final minutes, he wrote, “What the f**k is happening?” The match was close but, it was always in control of the Welsh Club. The final score of 4-3 meant that was by far the biggest upset in that tournament up to that point.
Fans will be eagerly waiting to visit and witness the vast soccer history in Wales. There are no final deadlines for the project yet, Govt. Is very hopeful about the potential of the museum.
