Necaxa sends birthday wishes to minority shareholder Ryan Reynolds

Mexican club Necaxa took a moment to celebrate the 50th birthday of their minority shareholder, actor Ryan Reynolds. The team shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, referring to the actor as 'the boss' while sending their best wishes.

Reynolds is part of a high-profile investment group at the club, which also includes stars like Mesut Özil and Eva Longoria. Despite the star power in the ownership structure, Ernesto Tinajero remains the majority owner and continues to lead all institutional decisions, representing the club at the Liga MX Assembly.

On the pitch, the team is facing a challenging period. Necaxa has been winless since the second round of the season. In their most recent match, they recorded a bittersweet draw against Juárez in the opening of the 14th round of the Apertura 2026. Despite a stunning goal from Owen González, the team struggled to convert opportunities, allowing a late equalizer.

The squad led by Juan Reynoso currently sits in second-to-last place in the standings with only 10 points. With just two wins throughout the campaign, the club is looking to overcome its current form and regain its standing in the upper echelons of Mexican football.
