Ryan Reynolds, Eva Longoria, and Rob McElhenney Lead Investment in Colombian Soccer Club La Equidad

The Hollywood-backed group, led by Al Tylis and Sam Porter, aims to strengthen the Bogota-based team with a long-term vision for growth.

Ryan Reynolds, Eva Longoria, and Rob McElhenney are part of an investment group that has acquired over 99% of La Equidad at a $30 million valuation.
The group is led by Al Tylis, co-chair of Mexican club Necaxa, and Sam Porter, an executive with Necaxa and D.C. United, who will serve as co-presidents of La Equidad's board.
Other investors include MLB star Justin Verlander, supermodel Kate Upton, retired NBA player Shawn Marion, and business professor Scott Galloway.
La Equidad, based in Bogota, competes in Colombia's Categoria Primera A league and has been runners-up three times but has yet to win a championship.
The acquisition follows Reynolds and McElhenney's success with Wrexham AFC, with plans for a documentary series, 'Bienvenido a Necaxa,' already in development.
