Hollywood icon Eva Longoria is making headlines once again, but this time, she's stepping off the red carpet and onto the soccer field. The "Desperate Housewives" star has officially announced her upcoming docuseries on Hulu, which will focus on her journey as a co-owner of Mexico's legendary soccer club, Club Necaxa.
From Hollywood to the Pitch
In 2021, Longoria, along with a group of high-profile investors, including "Welcome to Wrexham" stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, became part owners of Club Necaxa. Known as one of Mexico's oldest and most historic football clubs, Necaxa has faced challenges in recent years, and Longoria is on a mission to bring the team back to its former glory.
Her upcoming docuseries, which many are calling the "Mexican version of Welcome to Wrexham," will give fans an inside look at the passion, struggles, and drama that come with owning a soccer team — but with a unique twist that captures the vibrant culture of Mexican football.
What Will the Series Cover?
- Behind-the-scenes access to Club Necaxa's management and team-building strategies.
- Eva Longoria's personal journey as a female leader in a male-dominated industry.
- Emotional stories of the players and fans who live and breathe Necaxa football.
- The cultural influence of Mexican soccer and its deep connection to the community.
With the massive success of "Welcome to Wrexham," which documented Reynolds and McElhenney's journey with Wrexham AFC, Hulu is betting big on Longoria to bring a fresh perspective to the world of sports documentaries. Fans are already buzzing about the series, excited to see how Longoria’s leadership and passion will transform Club Necaxa both on and off the field.
When Will It Release?
While the official release date hasn't been confirmed yet, sources suggest the series is expected to drop later this year.
Why This Will Be a Game-Changer:
- First-ever female-led soccer ownership docuseries.
- Strong cultural representation of Mexican football.
- The emotional and raw storytelling style that made "Welcome to Wrexham" a hit.
