    A Hollywood-backed football club is coming to play in Wellington

    A Hollywood-backed football club is coming to play in Wellington


    Welsh side Wrexham AFC's taking on Wellington Phoenix FC at Sky Stadium in July - one of three Australasian matches

    It's owned by movie stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

    WellingtonNZ's Heidi Morton says she expects the game will sell out.

    She says it's not only going to be an amazing friendly match - but also has an entertainment draw card following the show Welcome to Wrexham.
