Apollo Sports Capital Takes Minority Stake in Wrexham to Fund Stadium Redevelopment

Rob Mac with Ryan Reynolds remain controlling owners following funding aimed at redeveloping the Racecourse Ground.

Overview

  • Apollo Sports Capital, an affiliate of Apollo, becomes a new investor in Wrexham, linking the club to a platform backed by roughly $908bn in assets under management.
  • Financing from the deal targets upgrades to the STōK Cae Ras, including construction of a new Kop Stand tied to the wider Wrexham Gateway regeneration plans.
  • Ownership remains with majority holders Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds, who frame the move as supporting long-term growth and ambitions to reach the Premier League.
  • CityAM reports the co-chairs held about 85% before the sale, and that law firm Gibson Dunn, led by Stefan dePozsgay, advised Wrexham on the transaction.
  • Wrexham enter this phase after three straight promotions into the EFL Championship, with CityAM and other reports placing the investment within Apollo’s broader sports activity, including a reported Nottingham Forest loan and a planned majority stake in Atlético Madrid.
