Hollywood actors and co-owners of Wrexham AFC, Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds, were awarded the Freedom of the Borough by Wrexham council on Sunday. In recognition of the football club's long and proud history and the impact the pair have had in promoting Wrexham across the world since they took over ownership of the club in 2021, councillors unanimously voted to confer the honour. Speaking during the behind-closed-doors ceremony at Wrexham civic hall, Reynolds expressed his gratitude and said, "What it's given Wales and the rest of the world is immeasurable… Our goal is now and has always been to uphold the values of the community and this club."

The Welcome to Wrexham documentary team were present at the event, and the pair were expected to attend the Wrexham vs. Notts County match that afternoon. Despite the 3-1 loss suffered by Wrexham at Halifax Town on Friday, fans remain hopeful that the team will earn promotion this season to add to the honour brought to them by two of Hollywood's biggest stars.
